[wilhelmtux-discussion] [Chantal Peyer] [wsisforum] Future of WIPO meeting, September

[Alex Schroeder]

Ich vermute mal, von uns hat keiner vor bei diesem Treffen vorbei zu
gehen?  Schön wäre es ja.

Peut-être que quelqu'un de la Suisse Romande s'interesse?  Comme
Chantal Peyer a dit: "questions de domaine public, copyright et
brevet"

To register (no fee!), mail bwallis at consint.org, according to the
instructions at the very end of this mail.

Alex.
