 Traditional knowledge was the theme addressed at the session of the IGC that took place from September the 19th to the 23rd. This is the 31st session of the IGC. The atmosphere was very positive, good progress was made on core issues in the text, which was under discussion. Those core issues being the objectives of protection, the definition of subject matter, identifying the beneficiaries and working out the scope of rights. The main text was worked on and a revision of that text, a rev2 as it was by the end of the week, has been transmitted to the next session of the IGC taking place in November. The session also as required by the mandate developed an indicative list of outstanding issues and that list was also transmitted to the next session of the IGC. All the decisions, the revision of the text and the list are on our website. If I may make three additional comments, the first is that while the new text, the rev2, sets out very clearly the different views on the core issues, Member States recognized that there's some way to go in narrowing the gaps as referred to in the mandate. And the new text does contain some new ideas and some new elements that Member States said that they needed to think further on. A second observation is to recall that this is the first of two back to back sessions on the same subject matter and the same text. And so at the next session, there's still an opportunity for more progress to be made on the text. And this is the next session taking place at the end of November. A third feature of the session that was interesting was during the informals that were held on the Tuesday and Thursday. There were spontaneous presentations by three countries as to their national laws that was Fiji, South Africa and Ecuador. And these were well received and interesting. So what happens next? The wiper assembly of 2016 is not expected to take any significant decisions on the IGC because this year the IGC simply reports factually to the assembly as to what is done so far. So that factual report which has been published reports on IGC's 29, 30 and 31 which are the three sessions held so far this year. The IGC meets again at the end of November as I've mentioned the precise dates on November the 28th to December the 2nd. And right before that session there will be a seminar on November the 24th and 25th and we hope to see everybody there.
