  1. Kudos to EFF by Winterblink · · Score: 5, Informative
    ... for not only reporting this to the public, but for offering to represent the viewpoints of those being shut out:
    EFF is accredited as a WIPO permanent observer and will be attending the meetings. The group will be reporting on the proceedings and will attempt to represent the viewpoints of some of the other public interest groups that are being excluded from the process.
