there has been a change in the international intellectual property regime.
Rather than substantive law harmonization, international IP norm-setting is
now promoting an enforcement agenda, an increasingly punitive response to
counterfeiting and piracy now being discussed in many national and
international institutions. It is an emerging matrix of new laws, regulations,
technologies, and public and private initiatives designed to police the use of
intellectual property, specially in the digital environment.</SPAN></P>

international standards require countries to increase the level and
territorial extent of intellectual property rights. This trend has
developmental impacts, as countries become less free to support open platforms
for learning, innovating, sharing and producing, while being required to raise
the amount spent on knowledge-based inputs. </SPAN></P>

several countries around the world reveals the trade-offs between the

<DIV class=im>Hi Jeremy,<BR><BR>I did not suggest it as a forth theme, since
you said that we generally only put forward three topics. If you guys
believe that a fourth theme should be added, I would be happy to draft a
text. If three themes seem to be the best way to go, I would like to ask us
to *really* make A2K present in all discussions as you suggested. For that,
we will need to carefully think about the approach and the names of speakers
for the main sessions, who could link A2K with NN, transborder issues, etc.
Of course, workshop proposals would be also important to reach a more
rounded understanding of these interplays.<BR><BR>Marília<BR><BR><BR></DIV>

and Ian, I'm not sure from your comments if you are both saying that you
want to see us putting forward a separate fourth theme (since I don't see
anyone suggesting that we should remove one of the existing three themes).
Could you clarify and, if that is what you are saying, perhaps suggest
