  2. Contribute to the development of Human Variome Project official documentation including Activity Proposals, Standards Development, the Human Variome Project Solution Blueprint and the Human Variome Project Roadmap;
  3. Provide information on the activities of member databases for Human Variome Project reports and publications;
