[Upd-discuss] WIPO: Online Forum on Intellectual Property in the Information Society

[James Davis]

"Welcome to the Online Forum on Intellectual Property in the Information
Society, hosted by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)
from June 1 to 15, 2005.
		
The WIPO Online Forum is designed to enable and encourage an open debate
on issues related to intellectual property in the information society,
and in light of the goals of the World Summit on the Information Society
(WSIS).  This presents a unique opportunity for all to engage in the
emerging debate on intellectual property in our day.

The 10 themes for discussion are listed below - scroll down to select a
theme.

The WIPO Online Forum is open to participation by all interested persons
– you are invited to join in online discussions over a period of two
weeks from June 1, 2005. It is hoped that the Online Forum will further
inform the discussions taking place during the second phase of WSIS.
The conclusions of the Online Forum will form part of WIPO’s
contribution to the WSIS Tunis Summit.
