The 16th meeting of the CITES managing conference will be in Pattaya, Thailand, in March 2013. The USFWS is asking for suggestions on what the U.S. representatives should support in the way of changes of listings. For further information, check out the Federal Register, Paragraph Citation 76 FR 34746.

From the Federal Register announcement:
"We invite you to provide us with information and recommendations on animal and plant species that should be considered as candidates for U.S. proposals to amend Appendices I and II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES or the Convention) at the upcoming sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (CoP16). Such amendments may concern the addition of species to Appendix I or II, the transfer of species from one Appendix to another, or the removal of species from Appendix II. Finally, with this notice, we also describe the U.S. approach to preparations for CoP16. We will publish a second Federal Register notice to solicit information and recommendations on possible resolutions, decisions, and agenda items for discussion at CoP16 and to provide information on how to request approved observer status."
