On 22 September, Dr Francis Gurry's election as the next Director General of WIPO was unanimously confirmed by the General Assembly.  His term starts on 1 October.  His appointment runs until 2014. WIPO Press Release here.  Dr Gurry's acceptance speech and his plans here. Congratulations, Dr Gurry!
