[Ecommerce] Agenda of the Casters' treaty question

[Manon Ress]

Dear colleagues,
Some of you asked when the casters' treaty will be discussed at WIPO.
Here's the link to the Standing Committee on Copyriright and Related
Rights agenda.
http://www.wipo.int/documents/en/meetings/2004/sccr/index_11.htm

On the first morning of the meeting, Monday June 7,  there will be an
information meeting:
"on Broadcasting Across the Globe: a View towards the **Future"*

No speakers list is available yet but I will let you know who will be
briefing the committee as soon as the information becomes available.
*

On Monday June 7 (afternoon) the committee will decide on the agenda (see c=
ut and paste below) proposed by the Secretariat.  The time for the various =
item (database and casters'for example) depends on the delegates and the ch=
air.  It depends on how many statements are made and how long they are.  If=
 you look at the draft you'll see that many articles have alternative langu=
age. It will not be an easy and quick process.

Meetings of the committee are usually from 10am to 1pm and then 3pm to 6pm =
everyday.

I imagine that item 5 (the casters' treaty) will be discussed Monday aftern=
oon, Tuesday and Wednesday.
