You get the point Veni as always.<br>
I hope that this position inside the WIPO will in the same time, as you
said, contribute to progress copyright policies not only at the
International level but also at the local and national level.<br>
I think chapters may since this announcement to approach local IP
Administration and work with them.<br>

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

style="font-size: 10pt;">This is to inform you that the Internet
Society (ISOC) now has an official "Permanent Observer Status with the
World Intellectual Property Organization" (WIPO). This is an important
step for ISOC as it gives us the opportunity to engage governments,
business and civil society on vitally important current discussions
taking place in WIPO. For example, ISOC is increasingly influential as
we bring our expertise to bear on intellectual property issues in
cyberspace, such as copyright in the on-line environment, intellectual
property and development, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style="font-size: 10pt;">Last June, the Internet Society was granted
status with the WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights
(SCCR). Our 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. As a
result, in May 2010 we applied for Permanent Observer status in WIPO.
After discussion, our application was approved at the recent WIPO
General Assembly, and officially came into effect on 29 September 2010.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

United Nations. It is dedicated to developing a balanced and accessible
international intellectual property (IP) system, which rewards
creativity, stimulates innovation and contributes to economic
development while safeguarding the public interest. WIPO was
established by the WIPO Convention in 1967 ... to promote the
protection of IP throughout the world through cooperation among states
and in collaboration with other international organizations" (<em><i><font
