The first meeting of the WIPO Provisional Committee for
Proposals Related to a Development Agenda (PCDA) meets from 20
February to 24 February 2006 in Geneva and I am representing
Union for the Public Domain this time.
New proposals from Chile

Colombia
<http://www.wipo.int/meetings/en/doc_details.jsp?doc_id=56472>,
United States
<http://www.wipo.int/meetings/en/doc_details.jsp?doc_id=56552>
and the 15 countries of the Friends of Development
<http://www.wipo.int/meetings/en/doc_details.jsp?doc_id=56613>
Group have been presented and hopefully will be discussed during
the following 4 days. Today, the countries' delegations
presented the different proposals (including the African Group
Proposal from the 3IIM) and made general statements. The
chairman, Ambassador Gauto from Paraguay, seems committed to
force substantive discussions. Let's see if the US and the
European Union allow him.
For the moment, the best coverage on the first day discussions
can be found at:
