<h3><a href="/activities/wipo/wipo.html">World Intellectual Property Organization</a></h3>
<p>
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is one of the 16
specialized agencies of the United Nations system of organisations.
Its role is administrating 23 international treaties dealing with
different aspects of limited monopolies on knowledge. As an observer
to WIPO and together with a global coalition of other players with
similar goals, FSFE is working towards reshaping it as a "World
Intellectual Wealth Organisation."

<h3><a href="/activities/policy/igf/igf.html">Internet Governance Forum</a></h3>
<p>
The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) is a global policy discussion
forum of the United Nations, established as an outcome of the UN World
Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). FSFE is following the IGF to
ensure that policy discussions will not endanger digital freedom in
general and Free Software in particular.

<h2><a href="/activities/wipo/wiwo.html">Towards a World Intellectual Wealth Organization</a></h2>
<p>
We endorse and support the Geneva Declaration, and invite its drafters,
signatories, and the United Nations to start thinking now not only about
what the role of WIPO should be, but rather what kind of organisation we
need in its place.

Open Standards, Free Software, and the Internet</a></b> (2006-10-30)<br />
Software issues are issues of power and fundamentally shape the societies
we are living in. Even to those who had not followed digital policy issues
before this became increasingly evident throughout the <a
href="/campaigns/wsis/index.en.html">United Nations World Summit on the
Information Society (WSIS)</a>. Two fundamental questions characterise
this battlefield: Who controls your data? Who controls your computer?
