Dear all,

I will try to make it and attend wikimania in early August as well, but will finally arrange my schedule after this years iSummit. There might also be an opportunity for me to be in Asia in September. As Jon said, waiting for his or my presence in Hong Kong should not hold up the process of the license porting. 

All the best,

Catharina

Dear Matthew and Jon,

Perhaps early August is better as Jon can join then.  Can Jon confirm a date 

when he is in HK?

It is really up to Catharina if I meet with you all, depending if she is

in the same region. Plus, this is really her area at CC too.

Also, I don't want to hold up the process...

After hearing back from Catharina and finalizing my summer schedule,

I'll get back with you both.

Jon

Best, Yahong

Dear Jon,

The important person is Yahong. I would like to pin down her diary first. 

I would be

flexible to accomodate.

Dear Yahong,

Shall we go by July 15 as per suggested?

Regards,

Matthew

Dear Jon,

I am not sure whether I shall be around on 15th July. Let us work on 

this day, if

I am not around, I shall get someone in the TTC office to host it.

Regards,

Matthew

Ok, sounds good...what dates are good for you then? Like I said, I can

possibly come through early Aug. near wikimania in Taipei.

Hi Jon,

How about July 15?

Yahong

That sounds good. I'll be in UK then. Although, I will be in Taipei 

Aug

3-5, so I might be able to swing through then...I don't want to slow 

the

process down though.

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)?

Sure, but Catharina, is really the ideal person to do this :)

Jon

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
