Refining options… • Taking into consideration that Window 1 contribution to the Genebank programme is a safety net, other sources of funding (e.g. CRP line item for genebanks support) should represent the majority of the contribution (i.e. greater that 50%). • It is also assumed that in no circumstances, the income generated from CRPs should exceed the amount required to support the Genebank programme.

Recommendations 1. The Fund Council is invited to approve a Genebank levy on relevant CRPs of a minimum of 3% on Window 2, 3 and bilateral funds only applicable to relevant CRPs, which should be, included as a line item in relevant CRP budgets. 2. The Fund Office and Consortium Office should be invited to confirm the list of ‘relevant CRPs’ within the new CRP portfolio and provide more accurate financial projections by end of 2016, based on the final CRP 2nd Call proposals budget approved at the end of 2016 by the Council. 3. The Fund Council may want to consider a possible reduction of such levy from 3% to 2% post 2021 conditional on effective collection of the proposed levy during the period 2017-2021 (and confirmation from the Trust Endowment post 2021 contribution).
