2016 Sponsorship of the Canadian ISO/TC 266 Mirror Committee

Fil Salustri and Norbert Hoeller attended the October 19-21, 2015 annual ISO/TC 266 meeting in Kyoto, Japan.  See The ISO/TC 266 Biomimetics Standard Initiative for an overview (9MB PDF, first published in Zygote Quarterly issue 10) and the Update on the 2015 Kyoto ISO/TC 266 Annual Meeting.  Norbert turned the trip into a vacation and paid his own expenses but we appreciate your help in covering Fil's travel and accommodation costs.
