No you are wrong Ted, and its pretty funny too. As it happens you are
incorrect for saying that this is inappropriate for the IETF's lists.
You need to dig farther into the WIPO Site and find all the State Signatures
to the Treaties - its them that the IETF is bound by whether it likes it or
not. Since the countries through with the IETF's actions operate including
the meetings, are all signatories to the WIPO Treaties you are exactly stuck
with them.

Todd,
According to the WIPO web site:
"The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is a
specialized agency of the United Nations. It is dedicated to
developing a balanced and accessible international intellectual
property (IP) system, which rewards creativity, stimulates innovation
and contributes to economic development while safeguarding the public
interest."
What the WIPO might or might not call for might perhaps be of interest
to various national legislative bodies, but it is completely out of
scope for the IETF list.
