The signatures that had been added to the petition by 12pm today NZ time (6,645!) have been put into a document and handed over to the Negotiators in Wellington by email. A copy of that document is here: Wellington Declaration and Petition (.pdf, ~390kb)

Don’t stop signing the petition! All the names will continue to give negotiators reason to pay attention, and the full list can be presented at the next Round.

    Thanks and congratulations to the team. Sorry I couldn’t join you.
    Digital Freedom will become a fundamental right and there should be no way to withhold access without a criminal conviction for a crime which warrants the removal of this right.
    ACTA is a travesty.

    The parts of it that are good are swamped by the bad, and even worse the secrecy is tonally unacceptable.

    Well done to all who participated. Sorry I couldn’t be there in person, but I was following virtually and a lot of hard and clever work was done. Thank you.
