Description: A process is in place to support the planning of collaborative activities between Participant Organizations and GBIF. The focus in 2014 will be on starting to develop clear memoranda of cooperation with existing GBIF organizational participants, identifying opportunities for better alignment of plans and activities. From 2015, GBIF will seek to incorporate these opportunities into developments of its Work Programme.

*Memoranda of cooperation with at least five organizational participants: milestone Jul 2014*

*Rationale*
GBIF also depends on the activities of its many organizational participants. Some of these are focussed on data from particular regions or thematic areas. Others deliver biodiversity informatics solutions that underpin or complement GBIF. Others again focus primarily on regional cooperation and capacity development. GBIF needs to focus more clearly on the opportunities for productive collaboration with each of these Participants.

*Notes*
Opportunities for development or follow-up at the Global Biodiversity Informatics Conference - to contribute to 2015 plans (see GBIF-27)

*Involvement*
OB, TH

*Tasks*
- identify target organizations (internat review)
- set up a joint document with information about participant organizations and relations (allow to identify liaison people internally)
