Dear All,
I agree with the idea of a concert.
We need to set up cc-hk as an organiztion.
For the lng term, I suggest to set it up under the Companies Ordinance as a
company limited by guarantee. We can then seek tax exception from Inland
Revenue. But sometimes they are quite rigid about granting excemption.
This should be part of the agenda of the next group meeting.
Thanks.
Chan Yau

These are all very good ideas from Rebecca, Oiwan, and Uta. To launch CC-HK
back-to-back with CIRC will help bridge the 2 communities, which I believe
should work very closely with each other, and this can increase the
possibility of getting Lessig to HK. The dates are fine for me. And I like
the idea of getting local bands and make it a big party. Two specific
questions:
1. How should I donate money? Send a check to Ben? Made it payable to CC-HK?
2. Should we put together a CC-HK Manifesto? I'm thinking about something
short but powerful, easy for media use, and for us to circulate, for
example, while inviting music bands or all members of the creative community
in HK, from Cantonese opera to photography to graffiti. It should be an
inclusive document, in English and Chinese (both Mandarin and Cantonese).
Does anyone know any such Manifesto being by other CC chapters used for
their launch parties?

Yes. I totally agreed about the venue and festival suggestion. It would be
nice if the venue is around place which is convenient and not far away, What
about Invent Center at Kwl Tong? University campus or park are all very good
suggestions. Not sure if APA/HK Art Center got venue for this kind of event.
it would be great if the venue with academia, art or technology background
because most of existing the CC community are from that areas, got some kind
of symbolic meaning.
It should be fun if the event invovles a lot fun activities and in a
creative way. e.g. people who used cc can show their work a the venue after
the ceremony/announcement and talked to the visitor or spread the words of
using cc. Bands show are great! Other suggestions: cc artist exhibition
corner, how to use hk-cc information poster corner and a computer/online
demo corner etc.
Cheers,
Uta

1. i like the idea of concert and festival more. there are some independent
bands in hk which are interested to use cc. and the function can help to
promote them. i am in contact with a couple of them: NOISE, BLACK BOX, PINK
"A", etc. if we have budget, we can invite the chinese migrant worker band
and some taiwan bands to hk. as cc is about "using" and "sharing",
conference is not a good format.
2. agree to make it before or after the conference in june
3. Sun and Sat (late afternoon) can get more people. especially if it is a
concert and festival, it takes some time to set up the sound system. the sat
and sun schedule can also attract more journalists as there are usually no
serious news during weekend.
4. For the venue, the cyberport is a bit desolated from the community in
terms of its location. It is not an "event place" in most people's mind.
Maybe an university campus or a park or if it is a Sunday, we can book the
central street (pedestrian zone). of course, june can be rainy... indoor
site can be fringe club or foreign journalist club?
