<p>Hello folks. It will be recalled that at the tenth annual e-trademarks listserv reception, which was on Tuesday, May 3, 2022 in Washington, DC, we prepared a poster. On the poster we listed topics and suggestions for improvement of the Madrid Protocol
system administered by WIPO. During the reception, attendees had the opportunity to sign the poster. We then gave the poster to one of the WIPO people to take back to Geneva. We later learned that the poster was put into a place of prominence in the WIPO
offices, and I prefer to think that surely at least some of the topics and suggestions got attended to.</p>
<p>You can see the 2022 poster, and you can read about its arrival in Geneva, <a href="https://blog.oppedahl.com/nice-people-at-wipo-received-our-poster/">
here</a>.</p>
<p>I looked over the poster and I think some of the topics and suggestions are still outstanding. In fact the more I review it, I think that quite a few of the topics and suggestions are still outstanding. :(<br>
</p>
<p>Anyway, I think it would be a nice touch if we could work on similar posters for this year's reception. </p>
<p>A first poster will list topics and suggestions for improvement of USPTO's trademark processes and systems. Attendees who wish to do so could sign that poster during the reception. Commissioner Gooder has RSVP'd that he will attend, so I think we could
offer the signed poster to him to take back to his office. To submit a topic or suggestion for this poster, click
<a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScowa-ZTpEC8osHWKOGswb7w4ijYacMlAVYKm_QWE8_1qT4KQ/viewform?usp=sf_link">
here</a>. Feel free to submit more than one topic or suggestion.<br>
</p>
<p>A second poster will list topics and suggestions for improvement of WIPO's trademark processes and systems. Attendees who wish to do so could sign that poster during the reception. We have an RSVP from at least one of the WIPO Madrid people, so we could
offer the signed poster to him to take back to his office. To submit a topic or suggestion for this poster, click
<a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScx2ct3cVvODqBvq-5k7dbnEZVMHSg-Z58HtnSVebSzab4DFA/viewform?usp=sf_link">
here</a>. Feel free to submit more than one topic or suggestion.</p>
<p>We will need one or two listserv members to serve as volunteers on this. A few days before the reception, we will turn off the submission forms. And then we will need to work through the submissions. We will need to edit the submissions, merging topics
as needed to minimize duplication. We will need to revise for consistency of style and, perhaps, politeness and tone. Please if you would like to volunteer for this, drop me a note. And then we would print out the posters for display on easels at the reception.
Attendees could sign the posters, which you ought to do as soon as possible after the reception starts. Then when one or another of our honored guests arrives, we could greet the guest and welcome him or her, and offer him or her the poster. My best guess
is we would not want to go into the substantive content of the poster during the reception itself, other than very brief recognition of the shared goals.<br>
