On Saturday 10 April, a group of concerned people got together in Wellington NZ (where the next round of ACTA began today) to hold a PublicACTA Conference to discuss the issues around the Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. Michael Geist and Kim Weatherall were keynote speakers, and the group broke down and analysed what we know about ACTA and what’s wrong with it.
The event was streamed and recorded and you can play or download the video at http://www.r2.co.nz/20100410/
The outcome of the meeting was the Wellington Declaration which you can sign up to if you agree with it at http://www.gopetition.com/online/35443.html. Russell Brown has a very nice summary of it over at Public Address.
More than 2000 have already signed, from around the world. The petition will remain open but PublicACTA will be delivering a physical copy to the negotiators tomorrow, so the more signatures the better.
