Sorry I just said hotel, but should be more detailed: Let's gether in the hotel lobby of Renaissance Kowloon Hotel (香港九龍萬利酒店). It's in New World Centre right next to Victoria Harbor. Easily accessible by MTR/KCR. From there we'll move to the bar of the hotel. Sorry it'll be a bit late, but please join us if you're around! It won't be too long. Maybe an hour or two.

Dear all,

Just came back in town and figured out details for the informal gathering with CC'ers from Mainland China and US after our IT and Social Responsibility conference tomorrow and the day after (see conference info below). Here're the details for this gathering:

Time: 10pm, Dec. 18th, this Tuesday

Place: Renaissance Kowloon Hotel (formerly New World Renaissance hotel, 22 Salisbury Road, Tsimshatsui)

People:
1. from HK: All CC-HK fans are welcome. Rebecca, Charles, myself, and other CC-HK fans attending the conference (see link below) will probably be there.
2. from Beijing: Wang Chunyan from Renmin U and several other CC-China Mainland members.
3. from US, mostly MIT: Hal Abelson, Jing Wang

Activity: Casual socializing and exchange of ideas, most importantly for CC-HK fans to learn from other places where CC is already in operation

RSVP: Please drop me an email so that I know who's coming.

In case you come late, give me a call at 9727-1232.

Best,

Thank you, Yahong, and all members of the legal team -- Best of luck for your important work, and I look forward to seeing your discussion draft soon!

As promised at the workshop, I'm extending invitation from our conference "Information Technology and Social Responsibility" to all fans of CC-HK. Please see the conference website at : http://www.com.cuhk.edu.hk/itsr/participants.htm
while also see attachment for the PDF e-leaflet

Registration is free. You may do it online (preferably) or call Li Na our conference secretary. Members of this group should be most interested in Session 3 in the pm of Dec.17 about the digital commons and intellectual property politics. When leaders of the CC-China Mainland team will present, and Rebecca will be our discussant. Others including Charles and myself will also talk.

If you like, we may even have an informal dinner and exchange session members of CC-China Mainland, including Wang Chunyan from Renmin U, whom I just learned was Yahong's former classmate. Again, how small the world is! And I hope to see everyone at this event.

Best,
Jack

A few more words on the legal process... Our two student RAs, Rob and Jerry, had worked extremely hard in the past few months.  They identified all important issues and differences in concepts by carefully studying and comparing the standard CC licence, HK copyright law, and licences of several jurisdictions such as UK, Australia, US and mainland China.  These issues and concepts in turn were thoroughly discussed and debated during our team meeting last week.  we are now working on finalizing the draft.  Hopefully we will make it available by the end of the year for public comment after we get CC international's comments.  Alice and I are working closely on making sure that the licence is in compliance with HK copyright law and the drafting process is right on track. 

 

Thanks for your patience!

 

Best,

 

Yahong
