Dear all, The agency that regulates in Mexico the Industrial Property (IMPI) signed the ACTA agreement in Japan yesterday. Here's the official press release[1].
In July 2011, a plural working group (composed of senators, experts, enthusiasts and academics) had warned the risks of ACTA for Internet freedom in our country, and exhorted the federal government to not sign it. Even last week the European Parliament was rejected the same agreement. The next step is to put pressure on Mexico to the Senate not to approve the reform, due to the conclusions reached last year with the plural working group. We're taking actions as a local chapter, and asking that the community of Wikipedia in Spanish to put an informative banner. We hope that these actions can be supported and disseminated by the Wikimedia movement.
