WIPO Report: Day 5 PM
Posted by David_Tannenbaum on Friday, May 05 @ 21:18:05 EDT Digital Divide
Jason Pielemeier reports (lightly edited):

So the chair proposed splitting the process onto two tracks. There will be an SCCR on traditional broadcasting* before the General Assembly in Sept and if the General Assembly then agrees to set up a Diplomatic Conference, it will address only these traditional areas. After the General Assembly (either Nov '06 or April 07) there will be a separate SCCR on webcasting.

* The big debate this afternoon was over what gets included in this basket [of traditional broadcasting]. The US swallowed a pill by allowing these two to be split, but made a special note that IF the General Assembly does not send traditional broadcasting to a Dip Con, THEN they want to be able to merge it with webcasting . . . . The EU then stated that they would accept the two tracks ONLY if simulcasting was considered part of traditional broadcasting, and then parroted the US on the "If no Dip Con, then recombine everything". The US responded after the chair attempted to finish the session and said that they were under the understanding that the traditional broadcasting WOULD NOT include simulcasting. It seems as if they are playing the "if we can't have our rights, you can't have yours" because otherwise the EU might be ok with letting webcasting waste away. Rather than clarify, the chair then closed the session so it is unclear exactly whether simulcasting is included with traditional broadcasting or not.

This means that there is real pressure (oddly enough) on those who are against webcasting to achieve consensus and push through a traditional broadcast treaty (that is as flexible on Technological Protection Measures and limitations and exceptions as possible) to a Diplomatic Conference. The EU will push simulcasting, the US (probably) will resist because that will make it all that much harder to move the webcasting provisions later and the rest of the world will fall somewhere in between.

Totally agree on this!
