Hello everyone, in fact, there are fresh news on the conference front,  
I just got an email a couple of days ago that the conference can be  
held at Stanford in early August. The dates that were given to me were  
Aug 6-8, but need to double check that first as it was initially  
planned to have it on a weekend, Sunday included, but Aug 6-8 is Thu- 
Sat. In any case, this took a while because it required the  
coordination of a few parties, mostly people at the Stanford Center  
for Internet and Society who will provide some logistic support and  
Lessig himself who wanted to make sure he has time to attend. One can  
imagine given his busy schedule that this was not so easy to achieve.

So, those of us who are interested in organizing the conference can  
now work on the CFP, which can build on the old one, available still  
here: http://commonsresearch.wikidot.com/call

Perhaps a couple of you, say for example Juan Carlos and Prodromos (as  
you guys have shown a strong interest during and after the workshop  
last year), as well as Larry (who will be hosting the conference so  
should be kept informed) can work with me to produce a first draft of  
a revised CFP and then circulate it on this list for more feedback? Of  
course all are welcome to provide inputs, I'm just thinking about how  
to stage this so as to be more efficient and get it out quicker - last  
year the amount of emails I sent around was enormous and I don't have  
that kind of bandwidth this year - which is fine I think because we've  
already been through the process once, so this time it should be easier.

Can you let me have a first go at the revised CFP this week and then  
share with you?
