<font face="Verdana">Thanks Jean-Louis--I would like to hear from our
IPR experts on this...<br>
<br>
I was able to find a link to a .pdf of the ACTA draft:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/docs/2010/april/tradoc_146029.pdf">http://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/docs/2010/april/tradoc_146029.pdf</a><br>
<br>
I got it from the article at:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.computing.co.uk/computing/news/2261763/acta-draft-finally-published">http://www.computing.co.uk/computing/news/2261763/acta-draft-finally-published</a><br>
<br>
The article begins:<br>
<br>
'ACTA draft finally released to the public'--'EU satisfied that it is
in line with current legislation'</font><br>
<br>
<p>An
<a
href="http://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/docs/2010/april/tradoc_146029.pdf"
target="_blank">initial
draft of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA)</a> has been
published
today.</p>
<p>The release of the draft comes soon after many governments and
campaign
groups voiced fears over the secrecy and lack of transparency displayed
by those
drafting the agreement.</p>
<p>The “predecisional/deliberative draft” shows that the overall
objective of
ACTA is to address large-scale infringements of intellectual property
rights
that have a significant economic impact.</p>
<p>According to the European Union, ACTA will “by no means lead to a
limitation
of civil liberties or to harassment of consumers”, and will be fully in
line
with current EU legislation.</p>
<p>This is in line with a
<a
href="http://www.computing.co.uk/computing/news/2261481/acta-three-strikes-approach-web"
target="_blank">statement
released earlier this week</a>, which confirmed that ACTA will not ask
border
authorities to search travellers’ baggage or their personal electronic
devices
for materials that infringe copyright. Neither will it require
governments to
mandate a "graduated response" or "three strikes" approach to IP theft.<br>
</p>
<p>and continues...<br>

Hello Ginger and the list <br>
<br>
<br>
Attached to this mail you'll find an interesting information about the
new US vision and legislation on Internet Access. A track for an
"Internet Access 2G" standard ? ...<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>

we have not exercised fully imho. However to do so, we need someone
from the group to ask for IGC support, and to have consensus from the
