RE: [council] Draft GNSO Council Agenda for Wednesday 12 April 2006

[Mawaki Chango <ki_chango@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Lucy for your effort in an attempt to reply to my question.
However, I'm still not sure if this addresses my lack of information.
I seem to know what WIPO is, and I have a bunch of guesses for DRP
(one of which is dispute resolution policy?) and for IGOs (one of
which is inter-governmental organizations?), but I still don't
understand why GNSO Council has a briefing about the "Paris
Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property" on a call at
this point in time, and not even (based on your answer) who is
concerned with developing a DRP for IGOs and what could be the
business of the council in this, if any.
