Thank you Christiane for your introduction and opening the discussion list. 
Welcome to everyone.

We have just completed information sessions/launches in Sydney and 
Melbourne and anticipate that sessions will be held in Brisbane and 
Canberra during April.
Thanks to the Copyright Society of Australia, Blake Dawson Waldron Lawyers 
and the Intellectual Property Research Institute of Australia (IPRIA) for 
hosting and assisting.

There are a number of people and organisations in the Australian community 
that are keen to explore the use of Creative Commons licences.  Through 
doing this we hope that a distributed body of creative content can be made 
available for many people to utilise.

To this end we need to move towards finalising the licence and allowing it 
to be employed.  We would like to think we could do this over the next 
month and by mid to late  April submit a licence for final approval. That 
means that we need to receive feedback in a timely fashion.

Please raise any issue that you think is relevant to the licence as drafted.

In particular feedback on the treatment of issues relating to: copyright 
terminology, exclusion of warranties, disclaimer of liability, moral rights 
and/or  GST  would be helpful in ensuring we have a workable licence.

Regards
