It seems that Marc Chinoy, moderator of the recent meetings in Washington, is not a stranger to the subject of the DNSO. FICPI (International Federation of Intellectual Patent Attorneys) sponsored a meeting in September 1998 about the DNSO, and a report was prepared (and the meeting moderated by?) Marc Chinoy. Attending were INTA, WIPO, AIPLA, USPTO, and AIPPI, "industry representatives from telecommunication companies and service providers." See http://dialspace.dial.pipex.com/town/drive/kch05/ I don't send this information out as evidence of a conspiracy, though it will no doubt be taken as such by those already convinced of one or more cabals -- if you read what's on the site, you'll find that the findings and recommendations are really pretty much what I'm beginning to see as non-controversial -- openness, neutrality, etc. But many of us were laboring under the impression that Mr. Chinoy was a neophyte to this arena, and I believe it would have been proper to identify his previous involvement. In any case, FYI Antony /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Boundary, n. In political geography, an imaginary line between two nations, separating the imaginary rights of one from the imaginary rights of another. -- Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary __________________________________________________ To receive the digest version instead, send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To SUBSCRIBE forward this message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To UNSUBSCRIBE, forward this message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Problems/suggestions regarding this list?
