[Upd-discuss] Access to Knowledge Treaty

[James Love]

The point now is to have people make proposals that might have some 
traction among national delegations.  This could be quite broad in terms 
of subject matter, but constrained also somewhat by political 
considerations.  For now, it is most useful to just collect ideas, like 
brainstorming exercises.  People will sort out the politics later.  Jamie
