Great to meet you Kenneth. We will videotape the event and I will  
post it online in addition to blogging it.
Also, the Journalism & Media Studies Center will likely send in a  
formal response to the consultation paper soon before the April 30th  
deadline. I welcome any suggestions. We will be focusing on the  
freedom of expression side of things since we are a journalism  
center, and we figure that the ISP's will be lodging a strong  
response about their liabilities.

By the way should we be inviting Charles Mok to join this list?

Cheers,
Rebecca
