The document discusses proposals before the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) regarding copyright and disability issues. It summarizes proposals made by the World Blind Union in 2009, the United States in 2010, and the European Union. The World Blind Union's proposal defines terms like "disability" and "accessible formats." It allows certain uses of copyrighted works to create accessible formats without authorization, including non-commercial lending and electronic communications. The US proposal also defines "print impairment" and allows import/export of special format copies. The EU proposal includes exceptions for reproduction, distribution, and public availability of works for those with print disabilities and establishes trusted intermediaries.
