participation? access? balance?


Online Forum on Intellectual Property in the Information Society


Geneva, June 1 to 15, 2005

--------------------------------------------------

The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) will host an
Online Forum on Intellectual Property in the Information Society
from June 1 to 15, 2005.

The WIPO Online Forum is designed to enable and encourage an open
debate on issues related to intellectual property in the
information society, and in light of the goals of the World
Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). This presents a unique
opportunity for all to engage and shape the emerging debate on
the value of intellectual property in our day.

The WIPO Online Forum will be open to participation by all
interested persons – you are invited to join in online
discussions over a period of two weeks from June 1, 2005. It is
hoped that the Online Forum will further inform the discussions
taking place during the second phase of WSIS. The conclusions of
the Online Forum will form part of WIPO’s contribution to the
Tunis Summit.


    Instructions – How to Participate

Please visit this site on June 1, 2005, to read fully about the
themes of the Forum, see the lists of questions under each theme,
browse background resources - and to join in the discussion.

All persons are welcome to participate, and instructions will be
given on how to submit a comment on each theme.

The Online Forum is designed to give participants a chance to
discuss their views on key issues relating to intellectual
property in the information society and, as such, WIPO will not
moderate the Forum, although any obscene or off-topic comments
will be removed. As usual, any specific question for WIPO can be
