Re: [wg-review] 3. [Constituencies] Weinberg document

Now that I'm trying to be a much calmer me I have to tell you. That is
something I would strongly support. A constituency, if we must have that
system, for civil liberties and civil rights would satisfy me. Only one
thing to add to that. This constituency have the ability to review
allegations of injustice at the hands of WIPO and that it have some recourse
if it finds that they have made a decision that violates the rights of an
individual. Absent an appeals process, there is no recourse for many
individuals. That in my opinion has to change.
