[UNOFFICIAL VERSION] Fwd: [A2k] WIPO - Final E and L language adopted

[Gwen Hinze]

Dear all,

For the sake of clarification, this is not the official version of
the conclusions text. WIPO will make that available some time next
week. This version is based on our notes of the word-by-word
negotiations that took place over several hours on the afternoon of
Wednesday March 12, 2008.

Best,
Gwen Hinze
