Yes Haggen we are nearing the point where hopefully we can fix a date for the launch. Before we do so I need to consult with CC International but it should be soon. Very good suggestion to find out more about the Taiwan CC launch and how it was organized.

We had a very useful meeting last night with good advice from MIT's Hal Abelson, one of the founders of CC along with Larry Lessig.

I will write up some notes with suggestions for next steps and send to this list by the end of this week.

Cheers,

Rebecca

Dear Yahong and all,

It is great to hear about the progress made by you and the legal team. 

Your effort is very much appreciated.

Does it mean there will be a local charter of CC in HK soon?  Should we 

plan for the official launch?  Maybe we can refer to the list of public 

events held in Taiwan CC

official launch of CC Taiwan in 2004 can be found at the bottom (WMV

Dear Rebecca and all,

To keep you updated, we had submitted our first draft of CC licence on Dec. 5, and then submitted an annotated version on Dec. 14, to CC International.  We had already received questions, suggestions and comments from Catharina and will work on them.  Although currently under the pressure of marking heavy loads of exam scripts, Alice and I (with Jerry and Rob) will try to get the licence released to public prior to New Year, if not Christmas, as a holiday present to the ever patient and supportive HK CC community.

Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
