Hi Lorenzo,
Yes, definitely!
The development agenda is still very relevant - the library proposals are in this context.
WIPO in general seems to be important enough to keep an eye on. There's a broadcasting treaty going on, which is an example of a very restrictive proposal. TV stations are pushing for additional copyright on content based solely on the fact that it has been broadcast, even if the content is free.
Cheers, Dimi

In Wikimedia Italia we are considering signing this: https://fsfe.org/activities/wipo/wiwo.html http://www.cptech.org/ip/wipo/genevadeclaration.html
In short, it is a declaration that asks the World Intellectual Property Organization to stop focusing on increasing restrictions. It's quite old (it has been written ten years ago), but its content looks still relevant - I'm not sure whether this is true also for the declaration.
Does any of you knows it? do you think it's worth supporting this initiative?
Laurentius
