1. 14th Global Nodes Meeting 24-25 September 2017 Helsinki, Finland Setting up the scene André Heughebaert Nodes Committee Chair
2. Thanks to Our Finish hosts Our funders, the National Science Foundation (US) • 41 Nodes managers
 from 33 countries and 8 organisations 
 with new participants such as iDigBio, Mali, Niger & Nigeria • 18 HoDs, Nodes staff and External Observers
 from Croatia, Guatemala, Russia… • Secretariat for organising this GB24 side event
3. Practicalities • Video Capture and Streaming • Name tags • Wifi • CommunitySite GNM14 group as docs repository • Breakout groups (3 + 1 + 1) • Evaluation form
4. Aims of the meeting • share information on the progress made by nodes and regions • establish collaboration mechanisms • set common priorities for the Nodes Committee for the upcoming period
5. Participant Node Managers Committee (Nodes Committee) Each Participant is entitled to have one representative on the Committee. The Committee will normally meet at least once every second a year (The Global Nodes Meeting). Nodes Steering Group (NSG) A small Nodes Steering Group has been established to ensure an effective planning and execution of the mandate of the Participant Node Managers Committee and to act as an interface between the Nodes and other parts of the GBIF Governance. The NSG comprises the Nodes Committee Chair and Vice Chairs, and six Regional Representatives.
