Yes Haggen we are nearing the point where hopefully we can fix a date  
for the launch. Before we do so I need to consult with CC  
International but it should be soon. Very good suggestion to find out  
more about the Taiwan CC launch and how it was organized.

We had a very useful meeting last night with good advice from MIT's  
Hal Abelson, one of the founders of CC along with Larry Lessig.
I will write up some notes with suggestions for next steps and send  
to this list by the end of this week.

Cheers,
Rebecca
