Mr Chairman, I speak here on behalf of PIJIP’s role as the coordinator of the Global Expert Network on Copyright User Rights – an international coalition of academics and researchers.
We urge the Committee to use this session to add content to the agenda for regional seminars.
The intent of the next year is to promote action on the remaining limitations and exceptions agenda items – and specifically to agree upon a path toward “an appropriate international legal instrument or instruments (whether model law, joint recommendation, treaty and/or other forms)” for libraries, archives, museums, education, research, and persons with other disabilities (WO/GA/41/14).
Toward this end, we encourage that each regional meeting should be designed to inform and promote endorsement of a draft instrument in whatever form. These drafts should then be reported back to the conference on limitations and exceptions in November 2019, where the SCCR should discuss the merits of different forms of instrument.
In particular, the regionals should have as part of their agenda the consideration of the Civil Society Draft Treaty on Education and Research Activities released here today.
