How can an IBC review research in a new field or with an emerging virus if the IBC members do not have sufficient expertise?

It was suggested at the safety symposium that possibly the American Biological Safety Association (ABSA) or scientific societies would be interested in facilitating the exchange of information among their members with experience in this research.
