<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.

<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.

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

Information Society (WSIS)</a>. Two fundamental questions characterise
|
|
this battlefield: Who controls your data? Who controls your computer?
