Hi.<br>
I am just suggesting what ISOC *could* do. Whether, how, when, will... these are questions to ISOC, not to me. As I said, it would be good, knowing that Larry Lessig is there, if they can contribute. Observer status is good, given the arguments provided in the press release - "ISOC's participation showed WIPO the value of our organization's expertise. At the same time, we found other areas where ISOC can contribute to the work of different Committees within WIPO."<br>

Veni,<br>
<br>
With observer status, how does ISOC propose progressive ideas? The idea of altering copy right thinking is purposeful, but how do we that with the present status?<br>

Congratulations!<br>
And now, that Larry Lessig is on the ISOC Board, I hope that ISOC<br>
would be able to contribute to WIPO with some progressive ideas,<br>
like Creative Commons, and hopefully change a little bit and<br>
positively the copyright policies!<br>

Dear Members,<br>
<br>
This is to inform you that the Internet Society (ISOC) now has an<br>
official "Permanent Observer Status with the World Intellectual<br>
Property Organization" (WIPO). This is an important step for ISOC<br>
as it gives us the opportunity to engage governments, business<br>
and civil society on vitally important current discussions taking<br>
place in WIPO. For example, ISOC is increasingly influential as<br>
we bring our expertise to bear on intellectual property issues in<br>
cyberspace, such as copyright in the on-line environment,<br>
intellectual property and development, etc.<br>
<br>
Last June, the Internet Society was granted status with the WIPO<br>
Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR). Our<br>
participation showed WIPO the value of our organization's<br>
expertise. At the same time, we found other areas where ISOC can<br>
contribute to the work of different Committees within WIPO. As a<br>
result, in May 2010 we applied for Permanent Observer status in<br>
WIPO. After discussion, our application was approved at the<br>
recent WIPO General Assembly, and officially came into effect on<br>
29 September 2010.<br>
<br>
WIPO "... is a specialized agency of the United Nations. It is<br>
dedicated to developing a balanced and accessible international<br>
intellectual property (IP) system, which rewards creativity,<br>
stimulates innovation and contributes to economic development<br>
while safeguarding the public interest. WIPO was established by<br>
the WIPO Convention in 1967 ... to promote the protection of IP<br>
throughout the world through cooperation among states and in<br>
collaboration with other international organizations" (//source:<br>
WIPO website//).<br>
<br>
We will keep you informed of our work in this important forum as<br>
we deepen our engagement.<br>
