think maybe changing the fee structure could help...nevertheless  i still
think the main issue is about clarifying where an institution fall as that
was what brought about this long thread in the first place, if we say price
review for end-user is a possible way forward, does this mean it is agreed
that institution that uses its IP solely within her organisation is an
end-user?
If we are to apply a price review, will it be upward review of the end-user
IP allocation? well may i request we strongly put into consideration
Africa's specific economic challenge in the review process.
