Re: [council] GAC proposal - further revision
Philip,
Thanking for your efforts to compile the suggested
comments,
I suggest NC add "other exisitng regional or
international Internet-
relevant Organizations to WIPO and
DNSO as consultation body"
By doing this we can overcome Erica's concern about
political
challenges.

3. That, due
to the inherent complexity, the best forum for governments
to seek
solutions to the problems perceived by the GAC is the existing
forum of
such intellectual property expertise, namely the inter-governmental
specialised
UN agency, the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO)
combined
with the existing forum for representing the internet community
in policy
making, the DNSO.
