Dear CITES Stakeholder,

The purpose of this email is to let you know that the U.S. Fish and 
Wildlife Service is in the midst of preparing for the 15th meeting of the 
Conference of the Parties to CITES (CoP15), to be held in Doha, Qatar, 
March 13-25, 2010.  Currently, we are developing U.S. negotiating 
positions on proposed resolutions, decisions, and amendments to the CITES 
Appendices (species proposals), and we are soliciting public comments on 
what positions we should take at the meeting.   The public comment period 
runs until January 4, 2010.  During this comment period, we are also 
hosting a public meeting on December 2, 2009, at 1:30 p.m., in the Yates 
Auditorium of the Department of the Interior at 18th and C Streets, NW, 
Washington, DC.  For additional information on our CoP15 preparations, 
please visit our CoP15 website at

Please feel free to forward this information to other interested 
individuals and organizations.
