Over 60 experts at the North American Regional Consultation of the Consultative Process Towards an International Mechanism of Scientific Expertise on Biodiversity (IMoSEB) exchanged views and discussed various options on a possible IMoSEB during a 30-31 January 2007 meeting in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Participants did not achieve consensus on a new mechanism, but did generate views and proposals that are expected to contribute to future discussions on the topic.
