Dear list members,

This mail is to invite you to the IGF Workshop 146 “Intellectual
Property Rights and the freedom to share: are the two compatible?”
that will take place at the Baku Expo Exhibition and Convention Centre
(room 4) on November 8th from 11:00 to 12:30 (GMT +4).

The workshop has been organised by a group of alumni of the ISOC Next
Generation Leaders Programme under the mentorship of the Internet
Society and will focus on the tension between the fundamental
intellectual property rights – notably, copyright – and “the more
liberal freedom to share, which is a unique attribute of the emerging
information society and represents the quintessence of the right to
receive and impart information and ideas”.

The purpose of the workshop is to trigger a dynamic discussion between
the attendees and the panellists in order to analyse the different
nuances of the issues at stake. For this reason, we welcome the
participation of the audience, be it on-site or remote.
Knowing that many members of this list are truly passionate about IPR
issues, we urge you to join our debate and share with us your
standpoint.
