Nice to meet you Yahong! I'm also at the University of Hong Kong - in January I joined the Journalism & Media Studies Center as an Assistant Professor. Before that I was a research fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard - a hotbed of support for CC.  

We're having an event tomorrow evening at the JMSC to discuss copyright reform in Hong Kong and it would be wonderful to see you there if you're available. Perhaps we can strategize about what role HKU might be able to play in supporting CC.

Cheers,
Rebecca

Dear Jon,

Remember the meeting we had at Hong Kong U. of Science and Technology a year 
ago?  I am from Faculty of Law of the University of Hong Kong in charge of 
IP/IT LLM program and was interested in starting the project in HK but was 
later interrupted by my maternity leave.  I am still interested in it but is 
being held up by many other on-going commitments right now.  I expect that I 
will have some time to re-visit the matter in July and August this year.  I 
hope I can talk to Professor Chunyan Wang, the lead person for CC China and 
my classmate at Beida, to learn more from her about China's experiences in 
setting up CC there.

Best,
Yahong Li

With Isaac Mao and Eric Eldred on this, we've got the A-team!

I'm curious who from HK that is on this list on the legal side?

Hi all,

I'm Isaac Mao from Social Brain Foundation(SBF).
SBF firstly introduce CC to China mainland since 2003 and create the
Chinese name "创作共用" now adopted by many grassroots publishers
especially in Chinese blogosphere.  We were experience a lot of
educational and outreach problems in China but eventually make it
widely known by harnessing the power of web 2.0 and blogging.  So it's
time to share our experiences and lessons with HK people after I
joined the forum of "Does copyright law hinder innovation?" held by
InMedia and OpenKnowledgeHK.net(
I was surprised that HK's progress on adopting new creative license is
now left behind China mainland and Taiwan, even the new regulations
consulting document didn't show the advance on fair use.  So thanks to
Eric's idea of building a joint force by HK pioneers to light up the
flame.

My colleagues in SBF would like to support in any ways to HK CC
building. We will actively participate the initial discussion of the
program and provide any knowledge and promotion support in great China
region with our resources. E.g. the coming 3rd Chinese Blogger
Conference and possible the 1st HK Blogger Conference.  Pls don't
hesitate to share us your ideas too.
