104. The Chairman recalled that, at its meeting in March 2006, the Council had agreed to maintain its present method of work on these matters, and to keep this method under review to assess whether any change might prove appropriate in the light of developments. He therefore suggested that the Council continue its past practice of discussing these three agenda items together on the basis of the contributions by Members. He informed the Council that, since its meeting in June 2007, Paraguay had requested to be added to the list of co-sponsors of the disclosure proposal circulated as document IP/C/W/474 (issued with the joint symbols, WT/GC/W/564/Rev.2 and TN/C/W/41/Rev.2). Addendum 5 to that document had been issued to this effect. In addition, the Council had received two new communications, one from Peru entitled "Combating Biopiracy – the Peruvian Experience" and circulated in document IP/C/W/493, and another from Japan containing additional explanations on its paper on "The Patent System and Genetic Resources" (document IP/C/W/472). The new communication had been circulated in document IP/C/W/504.
