Yes, very important to add. The latest on this is Intel putting such

<p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span
style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Recently
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>

<p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span
style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">New
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>

<p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span
style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The
enforcement agenda also impacts the exercise of rights online. The

response” in several countries around the world reveals the trade-offs
between the enforcement agenda and human rights, such as the right to
receive and impart information, the right to privacy and consumer´s
rights. Moreover, it puts ISPs in the position of an “Internet police”,
with the role to oversight internet users. </span></p>

round understanding about the impact of this enforcement agenda on

A quick word of encouragement for Marila to draft a fourth possible a2k

But in general I am fine with Jeremy's distillation of three workable

<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>

While I agree with your approach that makes A2K a transversal issue, I
believe it is very important that we go beyond words and really
mainstream it on the debates.<br>
Marilia 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 some text?<br>
