| Wonderful Yahong... I hope this meeting can happen.
I'll be in Bangkok until the 2nd Aug. and will unfortunately have to miss this meeting :(
I look forward to reading the Minutes when they're available and to supporting this initiative in its formative stages.
Regards,

Dear Rebecca, I shall make myself available for the meeting on July 30 or 31st. Regards, Matthew Rebecca MacKinnon wrote: Hi everybody. What are the chances we can meet on July 30th or 31st? I need to be in Taipei by late evening on the 31st in order to make the Wikimedia advisory board meeting, which starts on the morning of Aug. 1st. But I am otherwise very flexible about timing on the 30th and 31st.

Shall we organize a meeting for July or August? Rebecca Hi all, the best time for me is going to be late July, early august. I have to be back in SF pretty quick after wikimania. Is during the week okay? I'm also quite interested in meeting with businesses who are interested in using CC licensing. I would like to spend 1-2 days in Hong Kong to get CC-HK setup and then also setup some high level business meetings to present CC to public and privately to key businesses. What dates seem the best? July 30, 31, August 1, 2 all are open, but I have to be in Tapei for wikimania AUG 2-5. Cheers! Would it make sense to have one legal meetup to get the legal team squared away? And then, have a wider public meetup?
