Intellectual Property Watch reported on the new deputy and assistant directors general last week (IPW, WIPO, 28 May 2009), but the WIPO document provides the full curriculum vitae for the proposed appointees. The names were recommended by Gurry to the 83-member WIPO Coordination Committee, which will make the final decision at their meeting on 15-16 June.
