REDMINE: + 2 Weeks
3.2.9 - Feedback on observer membership application in WIPO
Redmine task #168, due date: 11/06/2012
From the previous meeting:
- Denis: there were actually two points: we also applied for the ad hoc observer status to five meetings, and they has been decliened as those meeting were not available for such a meeting. Second, there was our application to the observer membership, and this got postponed to next year. We got no official response yet. Amelias Office has supported us in formulating an letter to the chair of the assembly meeting.
Gregory: We should send letters to the responsible offices of the countries who obviously were not fine with our application (USA, Switzerland, France, Japan, ?) and we could try to get ad-hoc observer status for Geneva meetings during next year.http://www.wipo.int/meetings/en/ Denis: I'm going to read through the conferences list and identify the meetings we could be interested in for ad-hoc observer status. REDMINE: +1 month (Plus create new task for communication with other organizations for Gregory)
- Denis: There are news.
WIPO sent a letter which says: However, the said Assemblies decided that PPI's request be deferred to allow time for consultation on the matter.
And I identified the meetings we probably want to attend (from December on):
- Geneva, Dec 17: The Effects of Copyright Extensions on the Quantity and Quality of Literary Output http://www.wipo.int/meetings/en/details.jsp?meeting_id=25674 (Last seminar of the series "The Economics of Intellectual Property")
- Geneva, Dec 19-20: Advisory Committee on Enforcement, Eighth Session http://www.wipo.int/meetings/en/details.jsp?meeting_id=25015 (Contains discussion about reasons for copyright infringement)
The rest could contain interesting points, but seemed to be rather administrative or not worth visiting because of only low relevance for us. Unfortunately they don't seem to publish the dates early. There was just one meeting in 2013.
REDMINE:
3.2.13 - Call for hosts PPI GA
Redmine task #195, due date: 11/06/2012

REDMINE: + 2 Weeks
3.2.14 - Financial Report from the Prague GA
Redmine task #212, due date: 23/10/2012
- Lola: we got response from the organizers of the Prague conference. We seem to disagree on some claimed facts. Lola will create a pad with all of the objections to the response.
- Ed: Agrees. It should be made certain that it does not get evolved into a personal conflict and should be handled between the organisations (between PPI and PP-CZ).
- Lola: one suggestion could be to ask PP-CZ to appoint a different person to communicate on this issue.
- Ed: this might be to soon, we should carry on for now.
REDMINE: + 2 Weeks
