Dear All,

The WIPO General Assembly 2007 starts today September 24, 2007 and runs
until October 3, 2007. Among the agenda items of importance are:

- Approval of agreed proposals on a WIPO Development Agenda and
establishment of a new IP and Development Permanent Committee
- Renewal of the mandate of the Intellectual Property, Genetic Resources,
Traditional Knowledge and Folklore (IGC) Committee

The South Centre is actively engaged in this process, providing analysis
and inputs to developing country negotiators.

To get a quick insight of the "Priorities for the WIPO 2007 Assembly", as
it relates to the developing countries, watch Ms. Viviana Munoz Tellez,
Programme Officer (Innovation and Access to Knowledge), South Centre in
