[A2k] Quick ACTA question, job opportunity, and call for papers

I have three quick items, so I am combining them into a single post.

1. Does anyone know the exact dates of the next ACTA meeting in
Mexico?  All I have heard is "late January"?  Consumers International
(CI) has a Mexican member interested in doing some PR activities
around this event.

2. CI's sister organisation TACD is advertising for an IP Policy
Advocate, probably to be based in Brussels, and applications close
tomorrow.  See http://tinyurl.com/yaf7r5y and respond soon if you are
interested!

3. CI will be holding a global meeting on Access to Knowledge in Kuala
Lumpur on 21 and 22 April 2010.  The first day will be in a conference
format, and I am privately circulating a few invitations to present
papers (I'm not circulating widely because I may not have enough
funding to cover flight costs for speakers).  If you are interested in
receiving an invitation, please contact me.

Thanks!
