YOUR TELNO 187: WIPO ROUND TABLE MEETING: HONG KONG ATTENDANCE
1.
UKMIS GENEVA HAVE INDICATED TO WIPO, IN A NOTE VERBALE, THAT MS TAI WILL BE ATTENDING AS AN UNACCREDITED OBSERVER. WIPO WILL NOW ISSUE TICKETS ETC. WIPO HAVE ALSO TOLD US THAT MS TAI WILL BE SEATED BEHIND A PLATE TITLED 'OBSERVERS' WITH TWO OTHER PERSONS. THIS SEEMS ACCEPTABLE TO US.
2. SUBJECT TO YOUR VIEWS WE WOULD NOT FAVOUR BRIEFING THE CHINESE JLG OFFICE, AS SUGGESTED IN PEKING TELNO 59. WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A DISTINCT PROBABILITY THAT THEY WOULD PASS THE INFORMATION INTO PEKING WHO IN THE CURRENT CLIMATE WOULD THEN FEEL OBLIGED TO DO SOMETHING. ATTENDANCE AS AN UNACCREDITED OBSERVER CANNOT SENSIBLY BE QUESTIONED.
