Dear all, I think there is a possibility – but don’t hold me accountable for bringing it up! J -- that we can get some government funding for some of the work/cost involved.  If we have a meeting, and if we can scope out the tasks and so on, we can have a better idea.

Hi All,

 

Yesterday, I had lunch with Ms. Rebecca Ong, a Teaching Fellow of City University and specialize in IP law.  Rebecca expressed her interests to help.  This is a great news to would be HK-CC.  We have law faculty members from both HKU (Yahong) and City U (Rebecca Ong), as well as support from HKU journalism dept (Rebecca MacKinnon) and UST technology transfer centre (Matthew).  It is a very good start.

 

During the lunch, we both are not sure about the duties the institution has to perform other than coordinating the effort to adapt the CC licenses for HK use.  For example, should the institution be responsible to maintain a web page?  This could help estimating the cost and logistics effort.  Could Catharina help us on this question?

 

Below is something I have in mind about the schedule (ref: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Worldwide_Overview) :

 
  1. Create drafts for the six Ver 3.0 Licenses (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/ ) for HK use.  This effort will be championed by the institution, and supported by other academics and anyone who are willing to help.  I will not count on private sector lawyers on this stage unless they are volunteering their valuable time.
 
  1. Solicit comments for the drafts.  We will seek private sector lawyers’ help, may be even help from DOJ and IPD.
 
  1. Repeat (1) and (2).
 
  1. Send the drafts to Creative Commons for review.
 
  1. Translate the drafts into Chinese.
 

We may want to swap the sequence of step 4 and 5 if necessary.  What does everyone think?

 

I will also like to propose to have a face-to-face meeting soon.  I bet the ideal place would be a classroom in HKU, City U or UST.

 

Let’s kick start HK-CC ASAP!

We (Jon, Prof. Yuen's team and I) had a meeting back in early 2006, but not recently.  No translation has started.  I am fully engaged in this May and June, and will be available for meeting, if there is one, only in July and August.

Has there been a HK-CC meeting?

Dear all,

 

It would be cool if a law firm can help. And it definitely can speed the whole process. Or have Ms. Yahong Li and Prof. Matthew Yuen already started the translation already?

 

As I was not in the last meeting, not sure sure if we have formed a team already for the HK-CC?

 

And if we needed to ask the help from a law firm, what would be the arrangement of the fee? What about the timeline? Maybe you guys have already discussed these issue. Just would like to know more.  

 

Thanks,

Uta
