DotAsia and Creative Commons Join Forces to Foster Creativity and Sharing in
Asia
Hong Kong, October 20, 2008 - The creativity of Asia's people will be
supported and shared thanks to a new long-term strategic partnership between
the DotAsia Organisation (DotAsia, www.registry.asia) and Creative Commons
(CC).
DotAsia, the not-for-profit registry operator for the ".Asia" Internet
top-level domain, plans to commit US$100,000 to Creative Commons in support
of its cause, outreach and community efforts in Asia. In addition, DotAsia
will contribute time and effort into assisting in the coordination of
events, activities of CC's regional chapters and various other
socio-technical initiatives, such as a next generation copyright registry
project.
The partnership will be announced by the CEO of Creative Commons, Mr. Joi
Ito, and Mr. Edmon Chung, the CEO of DotAsia, during the launch ceremony
next Saturday afternoon (Oct 25) for Creative Commons Hong Kong (CCHK) at
the HKICC Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity, Kowloon, Hong Kong. For more
details about the launch event visit: http://hk.creativecommons.org.
"We are thrilled to work with Joi and the brilliant team at Creative
Commons", said Edmon Chung, "the partnership matches the core mission of
DotAsia to promote Internet development and adoption in Asia. It also helps
strengthen our connection to the worldwide IPR community. Stay tuned on
www.creativecommons.asia for CC activities in Asia."
"The contribution from DotAsia is very meaningful to the development of
Creative Commons in Asia. Through our partnership with DotAsia," Joi Ito
added. "CC can look forward to building stronger rapport with the creative
and cultural communities in Greater China and Asia."
Earlier this year DotAsia and the International Federation Against Copyright
Theft ¨C Greater China (IFACT-GC), representing the Motion Picture
Association (MPA) in Hong Kong, agreed to establish a cooperative mechanism
for the online protection of movies and to promote the proactive adoption of
the .Asia domain by, and educational programs for, the creative industries
around Asia.
*About DotAsia Organisation:*
DotAsia Organisation (http://www.registry.asia) is a not-for-profit
corporation with a mission to promote Internet development and adoption in
Asia. The organization oversees the '.Asia' top-level Internet domain name,
and is formed as an open consortium of 20 official top-level-domain
authorities around the region, including .CN (China), .JP (Japan), .KR
(Korea), .IN (India), .NZ (New Zealand), .PH (Philippines), etc., and 5
regional Internet organizations including APNIC, APNG, APCERT, PAN and
APTLD. In the past two decades Asia has developed into a global force in the
commercial, political and cultural network. The .Asia domain aspires to
embrace this dynamism in the Asia Century to become a nucleus, intersection
and breeding ground for Internet activity and development in the region.
*About Creative Commons*

flexible range of protections and freedoms that build upon the "all rights
reserved" concept of traditional copyright to enable a voluntary "some
rights reserved" approach. Creative Commons was built with and is sustained
by the generous support of organizations including the Center for the Public
Domain, Omidyar Network, The Rockefeller Foundation, The John D. and
Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and The William and Flora Hewlett
Foundation, as well as members of the public. For more information about
