Mr. Chairman
Live blogging WIPO GA, September 24, 2009
WIPO has elected two vice-chairs for the GA, Tunisia and Turkey. Tunisia now chairing.
Chile made a very nice statement on the public domain, copyright L&E, and access to knowledge.
The Tunisia chair just ruled that NGOs cannot speak today, and may only submit written statements. We may have opportunity later this week. The excuse was the “long list” of NGOs, but that not true. There were only about 4 or 5 on the list, including KEI, TWN and the WBU.
