On 14 October, the first Project Steering Committee meeting was held in Wageningen, and it reached the conclusion that the project had a flying start and is on schedule.

The ITTO / PROTA project PD 479/07 took off on 1 January 2009. The 3-year project concerns PROTA 7(2): Timbers 2, and will result in 300 review articles on about 600 timber species.
