similar dynamic in the biosecurity space --- A commonly agreed vocabulary would be helpful. I'm reminded of the various ways in which the term biosecurity is used. In the Biological Weapons Convention community it refers to keeping highly pathogenic agents out of the hands of non-State actors with malevolent intentions (guards and guns, for example). Whereas in some countries, such as New Zealand, biosecurity refers to measures to protect the country from invasive plant and animal species.
