I attended the Mumbai meeting. Also pls. see Dr. Nagarjuna's notes that I forwarded to this list. There were a lot of reps (incl. legal) from the pharma, biotech industries, more than the software guys. In my opinion they said a lot more collectively than the software guys. It was in the Mumbai meet the chair declared that there would be a separate stake holder meeting on "software" @ Bengaluru and likewise a for the pharma/biotech industries to be announced. True, there were differing views put forth on "Software Patents" but to say the Mumbai meeting was skewed with discussion on 'software patents' is a stretch. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
