Below is the statement Judit Rius Sanjuan presented at the WIPO Provisional Committee on Development Agenda (PCDA) representing Union for Public Domain during the Chilean Proposal discussion.
First, an English summary of the Spanish text supporting all of the Chilean proposals:
a) Appraisal of the public domain: WIPO should (i) deepen the analysis of the implications and benefits of a rich and accessible public domain, (ii) draw up proposals and models for the protection and identification of, and access to, the contents of the public domain, and (iii) consider the protection of the public domain within WIPO’s normative processes.
