Dear Pro,

dear all,

Many thanks for the update - I am glad to hear that this meeting is finally going to happen :-)) And special thanks to John and Pro for working on the details and putting together the Memorandum. I had chance to look at it and I would like to discuss some more details with all of you in London. If possible, I would also like to give a brief update on what has been discussed for CC Asia.

Looking forward to seeing you all!!

Safe travels,

Catharina

Dear All,

With a great delay due to my involvement in the organisation of this COMMUNIA meeting, I would like to invite you all to the 6th CC Europe meeting that will take place on Saturday the 28th of March at the London School of Economics between 11:00 and 14:00 at the New Academic Building (the same as the one where the main COMMUNIA event will take place http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/ newAcademicBuilding/). I will be giving you the exact name of the room by tomorrow.

In the previous meeting we have discussed extensively on the possibility of forming a legal entity under the Creative Commons Europe banner and you may find an abstract of the minutes on the cc- Europe wiki http://cc-europe.jottit.com/5th_cc_europe_meeting_notes (password: Vilnius). Many thanks to Peter Troxler for compiling the relevant document!

As you may see from the discussion the main outcome of the Zurich meeting was to all work towards the setting of a minimum set of principles we would like CC Europe to adhere to. John has kindly drafted a Memorandum of Cooperation, which you may find in the CC Europe wiki at http://cc-europe.jottit.com/draft_memorandum_of_cooperation (password: Vilnius)

The core focus of the London meeting is the discussion and signing of the memorandum of understanding, so I would urge everyone to have a read and make amendments or comments on the wiki. The idea is to first have all European CC projects agreeing on a common set of principles and objectives and then see if we could potentially move to the stage of having a permanent legal form. In this context, it is important to position the CC Europe working group in relation to the COMMUNIA project, particularly with respect to what is going to happen once the COMMUNIA project that funds our meetings is over, so any thoughts on this issue are more than welcome.

Another target of the London meeting is to discuss possible funding options for the national CC projects based on our current experience. I have tried to get someone from the Open Society Institute to talk to us about these issues but with not much luck especially due their conflict of interest, but I am looking at other options as well.

Again due to the really heavy schedule in the COMMUNIA and the need to have the working groups spending some time on Friday evening, I did not plan any CC showcase event this time, but I could contribute more actively in terms of the organisation of such an event for the Torino meeting.

After the meeting we could all go for late lunch at a nearby restaurant at Covent Garden.

I hope that those of you that will be attending the COMMUNIA meeting will also be able to attend the CC Europe meeting.

Looking forward to receiving your comments and seeing you in London.

Best wishes,
pRo
