Day 2 of Information Sessions at WIPO SCCR

Today was an exciting day for us at WIPO, with a discussion of the study on limitations and exceptions for people with visual impairments and the recently released study of limitations and exceptions for libraries. Cross-border issues were of great concern in the discussion of cooperation among intermediaries for making accessible copies of works for the visually impaired. To my amazement, the discussion of L&E for libraries was very supportive. Member states expressed interest and I'm optimistic that this will move forward on the work plan of the SCCR. We'll find out tomorrow, when the official meeting of the WIPO SCCR begins. One of the first agenda items is L&E.
