I found the answer on the Botanical Electronic News.

Here it is:

ANNOUNCING CITES-L
From: conslink <conslink%sivm.bitnet at vtbit.cc.vt.edu>

CITES-L,  a  list for discussion and postings of issues relating
to the trade in wildlife and  the  Convention  on  International
Trade  in  Endangered Species (CITES), will provide a medium for
discussions on wildlife trade  and  CITES  related  issues.  The
World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC), where the list will
be  maintained,  has  had over 12 years of experience in dealing
with wildlife trade issues  and  maintains  a  database  of  all
reported  trade  in  CITES-listed species on behalf of the CITES
Secretariat. WCMC has regular contact with the CITES Secretariat
in Geneva, which will also be a source  of  up-to-date  informa-
tion. The 9th Conference of the Parties of CITES will be held in
November  of  this  year in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA and we
hope to post decisions and results of discussions as  they  take
place.
