3 - REPORTS
3.1 - Short report of the board members
Members of the board shall give a short summary (one minute at maximum) of what happened since the last board meeting or their last report. If something needs more attention, it should be discussed in separate points.
- Gregory: I must excuse from todays meeting as I am at the football stadium collecting signatures for a local citizen initiative to prevent the sale of our communal hospital. As the deadline getting near and we still miss over thousend (out of three tousend) signatures, I need to use this one of the last opportunities to campaign. My report: I have spent some time getting people on the Image Bank project, some questions regarding the PPI GA call for hosts (but no official application has been received so far). I have sent out the call for participation for the PPI Press team and asked the people to spread the word. I got in contact with the board of an INGO called Civil Society Coalition with the result that Denis can participate in the coming session of WIPO's Advisory Committee on Enforcement tomorrow in Geneva.
- Lola: -
- Travis: Been working with PPCA about hosting PPI GA, they seem interested but they need the financial data of the last GA to ensure they will be able to plan accordingly. They also need a list of countries which worked on the project last year.
- Ed: Working on PPUK BPI proxy issue.
- Denis: The mail for the PPI Press Team unfortunately didn't cause much reactions yet. The good news are, that tomorrow I will attend the WIPO ACE (advisory committee on enforcement) meeting.
- Jelena: -
- Nuno: I've been upgrading the LQFB instance to the most recent version and making sure everything is working since it will be important for polling our members on an important decision that is looming and my vote will reflect their decision.
