I am deciding that I don't like Lyris.

Sorry about the terseness, but that wasn't enough

These have search engines. At the search engine type "WIPO" and press enter.

This one doesn't have a search engine I could find. You actually have to
read the dox and search manually.

I am more than willing to provide proof of my statements, unlike Kent Crispin.

Also, unlike many, I have actually read all those dox. The picture is not a
rosy one. One MHSC core competency is encryption technology and a key
business effector is encryption policy around the world. WIPO has direct
effect on many related issues. For example, how can WIPO monitor possible
trademark violations if all packets are encrypted at the 128-bit level? The
answer is that they can't. Therefore they are not in favor of strong
encryption. This speaks directly against the recognised human right to
privacy in communications and free speech.

I think I have adequate proof to daemonize WIPO legitimately. However, I do
not deamonize WIPO, they deamonize themselves by their actions and
track-record.

Martin, you asked for proof, be careful what you ask for, I just gave it to
you.
