Yes, I think maybe we can arrange a meeting with Stephen Selby of IPD to
keep him informed of what we are doing, maybe someone from the IT (OGCIO)
side also.

Thanks Kenneth that's great if you could reach out to these groups. 

I have renamed this thread and have also started a list on the Outreach page
of our wiki: 
http://cchk.wetpaint.com/page/Outreach

Please add groups, individuals, departments, and officials who should be
targets of outreach. We should also include who has volunteered to reach out
to those people. 

Charles do you think you could help with outreach on the government side?

Thanks.
Rebecca

Dear all,

I will take a crack on this by forwarding the draft to the IP lawyers I
know.  As most of them are from the big firms, not sure if they have time or
patience to work on this.  But I will try.  Also, I could notify the staff
of HK Lawyer and Managing of IP magazines of the draft.

Any comments?

Thanks

Kenneth

I agree. We need some input from the legal side of this community to
help us on get in touch with legal communities about the draft. 

I had forwarded to some people in open/free software community and I
know some HK wikipedians is on this mailing list too, hey~ any thought
from you guys? :-)
