Align with new decisions by CBD

[chaoran-chen]

The COP (conference of parties) of the CBD (convention on biological diversity) concluded their last meeting yesterday and published draft decisions here: cbd.int/doc/c/bd4f/2861/9dce4f46d43a637231a442e0/cop-16-l-32-rev1-en.pdf (all meeting documents are here).

Annex, point 10 (a) seems relevant to us since we make sequencing data publicly available through LAPIS and Loculus:

10. Entities operating databases, and tools and models dependent on digital sequence information on genetic resources, that make digital sequence information on genetic resources publicly available should:
(a) Make information on the multilateral mechanism for the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of digital sequence information on genetic resources available to those accessing their databases, and underline that generating monetary benefits from the use of digital sequence information on genetic resources accessed through the database may require the sharing of those benefits through the multilateral mechanism;

Once the decision is final, we should evaluate what we can implement to be aligned with it.
