Date: Wed, 09 Aug 2006 08:47:10 +0000 From: Vara Lakshmi Rudrabhatla <rvsn1234(a)hotmail.com> There are a number of public libraries that are sick. One can spare some time to motivate and guide the staff and offer services to public. They can do career counselling to local government school students who are deprived of such facility. They can go to any old age home or orphanage etc. and read books for them. If one has the willingness and permissible health there are so many things to do even after retirement (ofcourse not-for-profit).

Development agenda for WIPO - Press News
by Kumar N 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

Dear Professionals, The following article published in "The Hindu" on 09/08/2006. It is interesting about WIPO. Now a development agenda for WIPO The decision of member-countries of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), acting through its Provisional Committee, to refer the issue of a Development Agenda for this United Nations-affiliated body to its General Assembly in September marks a new stage in the global debate on the role of intellectual property. The decision runs parallel to happenings at the GATT/WTO, where the nearly six-decade-old mechanism has been forced to add a development dimension to the current round of trade negotiations since the Qatar ministerial meeting. This is not surprising because intellectual property rights (IPRs) are very much part of a broader system commonly identified as the market economy functioning within a multi-party parliamentary democratic setup, just as free trade and freedom of enterprise are. It was only two years ago that Brazil and Argentina came out with an initial proposal that WIPO should look beyond its traditional standard-setting activities in respect of IPRs and reflect the development needs of the developing and the least developed countries (LDCs). The duo was later supported by 12 other developing countries (India is not one of them) and together they have submitted a total of 111 proposals for consideration under a possible action framework for a development agenda. As could be expected, demands that have arisen in the wake of the debate within WIPO's internal committees on the new initiative include: "balancing of public interest and rights of owners of IP"; combating the tendency towards a "one-size-fits-all" approach in standard-setting for patents, trade marks, copyright etc.; sovereign space for developing countries and LDCs to implement IPR laws in tune with their stage of development; and a greater role for non-government organisations and activist groups in WIPO's consultation process. Though there is no voice within the organisation against the adoption of a development agenda, serious differences on the very concept, priorities and roadmaps are bound to arise in taking the proposal forward. Nevertheless, some facts need to be acknowledged as a starting point. First, WIPO (like the WTO) is an organisation of 183 member-countries and reflects divergences and inequalities in their political-economic strengths. Secondly, in historical terms, intellectual property rights have played a progressive role in making available to societies as a whole state-of-the art advances in every field, in consideration of a limited monopoly or royalty for creators and inventors (and, increasingly, for corporations, universities and publishers, to whom the rights are assigned by the creators). Thirdly, there is a substantial difference between the limited monopoly that is given to creators/assignees of any IP to encourage innovation and the market monopoly that entities like big corporations enjoy, and a clear distinction needs to be maintained between the two.

iSIM Lecture Series - August 11,2006

International School of Information Management University of Mysore in association with Computer Society of India, Mysore Chapter Special Lecture On WIRELESS SECURITY: Threats and Solutions By Dr. Srinivas Sampalli Professor and 3M Teaching Fellow, Faculty of Computer Science Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Prof. K. Chidananda Gowda Former Vice Chancellor Kuvempu University Will preside Date & Time: August 11: 11 AM Venue: Vidyanidhi Seminar Hall Department of Library and Information Science Manasagangotri, Mysore All are cordially invited --- Abstract of the talk: Wireless networks based on the popular 802.11 standard (Wi-Fi) are vulnerable to a number of intrusions such as eavesdropping, meet-in-the-middle, data modification and denial of service. These intrusions can be launched easily when the network has security mechanisms at the minimum level (e.g. MAC filtering) or at the medium level (WEP). Even with high-level security protocols such as WPA1 and WPA2 in place, many of these intrusions are still possible. This talk will focus on the risks and vulnerabilities that exist in 802.11 wireless networks at various security levels. Tools and techniques used by hackers to exploit these vulnerabilities will be identified. Lessons learned from past security protocols and shortcomings in emerging security standards will be examined. Three prototypes which have been designed at Dalhousie University under the Dalhousie-Industry Canada project on wireless security for the detection and prevention of intrusions on 802.11 networks will be discussed. The talk will include demos of how these techniques will detect and prevent intrusions at different security levels on wireless LANs. Speakers Biography Srinivas (Srini) Sampalli is a Professor and 3M Teaching Fellow and teaches in the Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. He has been researching in the area of security and quality of service in wireless and wireline networks. Specifically, he has been involved in research projects on protocol vulnerabilities, security best practices, risk mitigation and analysis, and the design of secure networks. He was the Dalhousie principal investigator for the Secure Active VPN Environment (SAVE) project sponsored by the Canadian Institute for Telecommunications Research (CITR), a National Center for Excellence, and is currently the principal investigator for the Wireless Security project sponsored by Industry Canada. Dr. Sampalli has received many teaching awards, at the faculty, university and regional levels. In 2005, he received the 3M Teaching Fellowship, Canadas national teaching award. -- Dr. Shalini R.
