[A2k] Some NGOs can attend the WIPO meetings on DA

[Manon Ress]

17 or 18 NGOs who requested ad hoc accreditation have been accepted by
the WIPO Member States.  The list (but I'm not 100% sure it is a
complete and accurate list--for ex. EFF is accreditated already!) is at
the bottom of message.

 From this morning WIPO session:
-------------

Geoffrey Yu (WIPO):  Proceed to Agenda Item two; nomination of officers


Jamaica:  On behalf of GRULAC-we would like to nominate the Ambassador
of Paraguay

Czech Republic:  Second, and also nominate Bulgaria as vice-chair

China: We would like to support the nomination by the delegation of
Jamaica for Paraguay and Bulgaria is vice-chair


Geoffrey Yu (WIPO):  PR of Parauguay is chair; PR of Bulgaria is vice-chair


Paraguay (Chair): Efficiency starts of with brevity.

Jamaica (GRULAC): We would like to add an agenda item on a substantive
report and an item on the inclusion of NGOs.
IIM/1/1

Chair:  Agreement among regional coordinators on having a substantive
report.  Agreement among regional coordinators on the accreditation of
17 NGOs at the first IIM.
