[A2k] Article on DA days at WIPO (in Italian)

[Andrea Glorioso]

Dear all,

I just realized that I did the worst error an article writer could ever
do - I assumed everybody knew what I was talking about. :)

The article is a (necessarily incomplete) summary of the path that lead
to the IIM meeting currently taking place in Geneva, with refences to
the DA proposal by Brazil and Argentina, the Geneva Declaration and the
maneuvers some stakeholders put in place in order to counter the effort
towards a fairer and more balanced agenda for WIPO.

I don't plan to translate the article in english, as its main goal is to
make Italian interested readers a bit more aware of what is happening on
the international landscape (it was rather surprising to me how little
poeple seem to know and understand what is currently happening at WIPO).

Ciao,

andrea
