[[circled]] 7 [[/circled]] NZP interests:
[[circled]] a [[/circled]] We discuss IBDF's role as a record keeper & how IBDF needs to understand the basics of record keeping - Recommend to Joesio that someone be delegated to come to the U.S. to NZP to gain more experience in animal management; development, of protocols for breeding & maintenance; how to set mgmnt. standards & keep them; animal shipments computerized inventories; ISIS and AAZPA organization & function.

On 4th March late P.M. we are told that Joesio would like to see IVO receive that type of training. Jim & I discuss a short-term visitor program for IVO; how to fund it; (SI, WPTI, etc.) and how long. 

[[circled]] b [[/circled]] Species: we briefly indicate NZP interest in expanding studies to other species.

Joesio recommends that we write a formal letter indicating our interest in further collaboration & with some specific species named, eg. Speothos Chrysocyon & Pteronura

[[circled]] 8 [[/circled]] IBDF-owned GLTs. Late on Tues. PM Jim & Dionizio draft letter [[strikethrough]] [[?]] [[/strikethrough]] donating [[strikethrough]] IBDF [[/strikethrough]] management authority of GLTs deposited in US in 1981 and their descendents to zoos in which they are deposited. (I later realize that ownership of descendents by Brazilian law, is always in the hands of the receiving institution (that's why there are problems w/GHLTs ownership in Brazilian zoos].
IBDF only [[underlined]] ever [[underlined]] owns the original animals!!! We have agonized over this issue for 4 years & I think the solution was always staring us in the face!

Good grief!!
