Hi Pindar,

Wow, you guys really discuss a lot of issues in the meeting.

it was quite informative actually and fortunately went beyond the initial exchanging of pleasantries ;)

I would imagine that a first formal meeting would be even more so...


But as I remember that the key of starting the project is to identify
a legal lead first, any potential candidates nominated from the
meeting?

In trying to understand the status of the project thus far, we also named Ms Yahong Li and Prof. Matthew Yuen (from Jon's first meeting on this subject back in 2006)!

As far as we could tell, based on postings to this list,

1) we've two legal scholars Ms. Yahong Li (HKU) and Rebecca Ong (City U - kindly introduced by Kenneth)
2) several individuals associated with 'academic' bodies - applied research (ASTRI) and universities (HKUST, CU, HKU ... ) law faculties/ media/cultural studies departments

So Uta ... several potential candidates and institutions! ;)

CC may have already identified both (from Jon's email below) -- which is *fantastic* to move things forward! :)

Although the ligh-level process for formation was clear ( http:// wiki.creativecommons.org/Worldwide_Overview ), we nevertheless had several operational/logistical/strategic user-related questions as well as some practical ones e.g. whether our existing commercial contacts could be used to leverage pro-bono work from a commercial law firm (Bakers, JSM, Slaughter&May etc) for the initial review (given that we've a common law history and version 3.0 released )

So, with the combined experience on this list, we should have enough clue to answer the 'known unknowns' !

As Jon, who was at the first meeting in 2006, mentioned both
Any plan to contact those candidates?

Ah... well they're all on the list and assumed to be periodically reading mail.

Based on Yahong's email of May 8th, she would not be available till July (earliest) and the thought of organising a 1st meeting in July was in deference to this reality.

Yahong: Would it be possible for you to propose a convenient date in July per your scheduled?
Matthew: Would it be possible for you to host this meeting in HKUST?
Jon: Would it be possible to participate by teleconference/video conference (we could rig something up)?


p.




Thanks,
Uta

Ms Yahong Li and Prof. Matthew Yuen

There is a chance that both Catharina and myself will be at wikimania in
taiwan in AUG, so depending if either of us get there, could possibly
swing through. Catharina is your best bet...

I will potentially travel through though in the next 6-9 months because
my family lives in Guangzhou...and I'm scouting out places to live in
China/HK ;) (a little personal info for you all :)

Jon
