Dear Christoph,
Please find attached my comments on the report. I think the report will be a great basis for our work this year - thank you (and to the research team).
I'm not clear on the timetable - when do you now intend to publish the report? In the current situation we can of course not reckon with any media attention, but if the plan is to do weekly releases, one idea might be to publish the report on 31st March, pointing to the impending decision in April. In my view it would be helpful to have the report out before the decision, so we can refer back to it, but also after the decision go into more detail on our political demands as appropriate.
Best, Katherine

Dear all
please see first nearly full draft of the upcoming report. Please give feedback till end of the week. Please try to avoid to insert technical functions in the text which are not necessary, we will try to save the format as it is for final stage of editing.
Meanwhile we will try to run first translations of the examples into German and organise some visuals.
In addition, we consider to add a list of explanations on specific terms used in 'patent world', now marked in red.
Further, some passage marked in yellow, indicate some elements just added or still need to be added.
The summary will be accomplished as soon as we received your comments.
Arche might plan for media release on 24 March, using the cancellation of the Admin Council as a hook and the example for new patents on beer. We also would plan to send out media release for no patents on seeds on that day. I tried to make a tabled proposal for media work, also attached.
Cheers
Christoph
