About
The Global Policy Comments project identified open calls for public policy comments and consultations, and compiled comments representing the iGEM community.
Comments
UK DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Policy Comment
UK DEFRA ↗ had an open call for comments on “the regulation of genetic technologies” ↗. Three members of the group: Martin Holub, Janvi Ahuja, and Tessa Alexanian, wrote a response to several of their questions.

UK HSA (Health Security Agency) Policy Comment
We aimed to identify opportunities to directly influence and engage with policymakers, and sought out open policy consultations with the goal of answering as many as possible. Through our experience, we compiled internal guidelines for both sourcing and answering open consultations. After responding to DEFRA’s call, we endeavoured to submit a response to the UK HSA on ‘Transforming the public health system’ and produced a draft response. Drafts will be available soon!
