These transfers of sensitive technology by WIPO have been the object of
considerable wrangling between congressional investigators and WIPO’s
Australian chief, Francis Gurry, since George Russell of Fox News broke
the story this past April. When the committee invited three WIPO senior
staffers to testify at a briefing in July, Gurry refused permission to
two of them: his senior adviser Miranda Brown; and WIPO Deputy Director
General James Pooley, an American lawyer specializing in intellectual
property law, and the highest-ranking American currently employed at
WIPO. The third potential witness, Moncef Kateb, head of the WIPO Staff
Association, received Gurry’s permission to testify, but declined, with
his attorney citing fear of retaliation by WIPO
Maybe it's just me, but that sounds like these clowns have something to hide.
