I can't find where I read this (or else I'd credit the author), but when trying to talk to these kind of people, e-mails don't work. They're too easily delete.
(Snail) mail works better. But what's best is to call them.
When calling them, be polite but be firm about your concerns. Get the names of everyone you talk to and record it and the date when you talked to them. Once you've expressed your concerns, ask the person for an "answer". If the can't give you an "answer", then ask to talk to someone who can. If no one can give you an "answer", then ask them to call you back when they have an answer.
See ya

I heartfully agree, Josh. Unfortunately, this is no longer on a
national level, so it may be more difficult to have our voices heard.
I have, however, found the site with the contact details of all
Delegations/Missions to the organization at the following link:
http://www.wipo.int/members/en/
Click on the name of your country, then click on 'Contact Information'
and then scroll down to find the e-mail address of your country's
representation on this matter.
As a convenience, I have included the e-mail addresses of Canada and
the US so we can all send e-mails to voice our opinions on the matter:
United States: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Canada: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you do send e-mails... remember to say that you "disapprove of the
inclusion of Webcasting and DRM in the Broadcast Treaty" (currently
under debate in the UN's World Intellectual Property Organization) as
it does not adhere to freedom of speech.
Casey out.
