[wos] Proposal for a panel on "Open Source Biotechnology"

[Andrea Glorioso]

Dear all,

I'm not sure this is the right way to propose a panel for WOS4, but as
the Italian saying goes - "nobody was ever  killed for asking" (that's
actually not true, but when I speak I don't want to get bogged down by
reality).

I  would    like to  organize   a panel   on   so-called "Open  Source
Biotechnology" or, to  frame  it in  a  slightly less buzzword-centric
way, on "new forms of  distributed intellectual property management in
the field of biotechnolog(y/ies).

I  have already three or  four  names that  I  think could foster some
interesting debate on this issue.

So, the question is: what would it the next step  be?  Should I make a
formal proposal?  If yes, to whom and in which form?

Thanks for reading this, and to anyone who will reply.

P.S.: please, no  mail on how using   the term "intellectual property"
      will kill me or  make me bald.  Been there,  done that, and  for
      the sake of synthesis the term is sometimes useful.

Cheers,
