	Hello,

	Please Vittorio, why do you think intellectual property
	is central for the WGIG....

	I do really think it's central. Central for the next economy
	to come, central for people rights to know and to use
	knowledge. It's central for development, as far as IP rights
	are putting hold on the capacity of underdeveloped countries
	to have a fair place on the global world.

	But why is this central for "governance" working group ?

	There's so many thing to deal while talking of IP rights
	that we never can consider it only through a narrow focus.

	Except to be put in front of a strange way to deal
	with problem : confer them to a technical goup. And
	by the way exclude all others actors...

	There was a debate on this CS list last october about
	this. And i was not sure the consensus was to put
	IP on the agenda of the WGIG.

	Please reconsider.
