  Just a slight grammar issue: surely "exploitation from third parties" should read " exploitation BY third parties.



  Regards,



  Rui

  Dear Drafting Group,



  I'm sending the proposal of Indigenous Caucus on behalf of Ann-Hristin Hakansson for the CS Statement Paragraph III, Access to Knowledge and the Public Domain. Please be so kind not to delete or forget it again.



  Indigenous cultures provide for rules and regulations on communicating, sharing, using and applying traditional knowledge. WSIS has failed to protect the Traditional Knowledge of Indigenous Peoples from exploitation from third parties, leaving Indigenous Peoples helpless as this knowledge, lore and culture in the information society is copyrighted and patented by others with no benefits to the rightful owners of that knowledge.



  Kind Regards,



  Sari Miettinen
