Hi Brian,

I'd like to make a bit of a plea for allowing more time than you presently 
propose for feedback.

Suggesting that you want all the consultation to be done by the end of 
April seems, to me, to be somewhat unrealistic.  You need to remember that 
the whole "Creative Commons thing" is pretty new in Australia: people have 
not been thinking about it in the same way as they do in the states, and 
only those who have constantly followed developments in the States really 
know what you're on about.  You might also want to remember that there's a 
lot going on in the IP world right now: by the end of April we need to 
respond to (a) the CLRC Crown Copyright paper, (b) the Senate Free Trade 
Agreement Commitee, and (c) the ALRC Gene Patenting Discussion Paper - all 
of which are important.  So if it's input from IP people that you're 
interested in, I'd suggest allowing for a little more leeway - or at least 
being open to the possibility that that deadline can extend.

Just a thought; open to be convinced otherwise.

Cheers

Kim
