<P class=MsoNormal>Dave,</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Here is a piece from a <A
href="http://www.weforum.org/news/world-economic-forum-annual-meeting-2015-address-new-global-context?news=page"
target=_blank moz-do-not-send="true">press release</A> by the World
Economic Forum (WEF) regarding their plan to “build a broad-based,
multilateral global architecture for governing the internet” that
might be interesting to the IP readership.</P>
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder> </DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>Excerpt below:</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>“The Annual Meeting 2015 will provide a platform
for over 50 initiatives that are currently being led by the Forum,
with the aim of contributing positive, transformative change to the
global agenda, as well as those of industry, business and the world’s
regions. These include a public-private initiative to help achieve
zero net tropical deforestation caused by key agricultural commodities
by 2020; an endeavour to build a broad-based, multilateral global
architecture for governing the internet; and the Forum’s Gender Parity
Taskforces, which work with governments worldwide to improve economic
opportunity for the female half of the population.”</P>
