Once again, the Wikimedia Foundation's application for observer status at WIPO, the United Nations agency for intellectual property, was blocked by China. This is the fourth time that China opposed our request, based, once again, on false accusations that the Foundation is complicit in spreading disinformation. This misrepresents Wikipedia's volunteer-driven model. The free encyclopedia's policies and practices are rooted in accuracy and neutrality; they help effectively counter misinformation and disinformation online. Observer status would enable us to participate and contribute to WIPO committees where intellectual property norms are set. As the host of the world’s largest online encyclopedia, the Wikimedia Foundation has practical expertise in many of the issues of interest being discussed at WIPO, including traditional knowledge, copyright, access to knowledge during times of crises, and Artificial Intelligence. The Foundation's presence at WIPO would help to ensure that the future of copyright truly reflects the global and diverse needs of the internet. We hope that WIPO leadership will act to help advance global access to free knowledge by enabling our observer status application to move forward in the near future.
