The scope of the GIA Deed covers engagement across the end-to-end biosecurity system.

Policy development
The GIA Engagement Policy was drafted by MPI supported by an MPI-Industry joint working group (JWG), MPI and industry senior leaders and the GIA Secretariat. The GIA DGG endorsed the Policy in October 2016, subject to feedback from non-Signatories through consultation. The final version dated January 2017, incorporates non-Signatory feedback.

Policy review
The GIA policy is owned by the GIA DGG. The way and extent to which GIA partners engage with each other will continue to evolve as the GIA partnership matures. The policy can be updated as required to reflect any developments. The first review will be scheduled after one-year of operation.
