Denis: tried to get an overview of the contracts administred by WIPO, hard to decide where we could go, not all documents are published Gregory: 200 pages of minutes per every country, thinks we should apply to go to the WIPO meetings

Denis: there were actually two points: we also applied for the ad hoc observer status to five meetings, and they has been decliened as those meeting were not available for such a meeting. Second, there was our application to the observer membership, and this got postponed to next year. We got no official response yet. Amelias Office has supported us in formulating an letter to the chair of the assembly meeting.
Gregory: We should send letters to the responsible offices of the countries who obviously were not fine with our application (USA, Switzerland, France, Japan, ?) and we could try to get ad-hoc observer status for Geneva meetings during next year. http://www.wipo.int/meetings/en/
Denis: I'm going to read through the conferences list and identify the meetings we could be interested in for ad-hoc observer status.
REDMINE: +1 month (Plus create new task for communication with other organizations for Gregory)

There are news.
WIPO sent a letter which says:
However, the said Assemblies decided that PPI's request be deferred to allow time for consultation on the matter.And I identified the meetings we probably want to attend (from December on):
- Geneva, Dec 17: The Effects of Copyright Extensions on the Quantity and Quality of Literary Output http://www.wipo.int/meetings/en/details.jsp?meeting_id=25674 (Last seminar of the series "The Economics of Intellectual Property")
- Geneva, Dec 19-20: Advisory Committee on Enforcement, Eighth Session http://www.wipo.int/meetings/en/details.jsp?meeting_id=25015 (Contains discussion about reasons for copyright infringement)
The rest could contain interesting points, but seemed to be rather administrative or not worth visiting because of only low relevance for us. Unfortunately they don't seem to publish the dates early. There was just one meeting in 2013.
