<p><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:
"Courier New"'>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.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:
"Courier New"'>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.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
