Dear Ben,

Apologies as I'm unable to attend tomorrow night's meeting as I have a  
preexisting engagement which I was unfortunately unable to move.

Please find my initial thoughts below for what they may be worth.

* Overall Principles:

1) Keep the groups, small, simple, nimble and focussed, expand as the  
need arises.
2) Define Strategic  'Success' and orientate tactical efforts to  
achieve it.

e.g.
Strategic Success = Creative Commons is the preferred and most visible  
licensing scheme for online creative content in HK.
Tactic  = Creative Commons is actively used by all of HK's Tertiary  
Institutions by 2009.

* I think  two functionally different  tiers should be sufficient to  
provide guidance, support, structure  and legitimacy to our efforts.

---- Tier A: Executive Committee - Focus on Management and Operational  
Issues

Size: A small (5-7 person max) committee  of committed  individuals  
who are able to respond in a timely fashion to email and regular face- 
to-face meetings.

Main Function: To provide week-to-week, timely guidance to help  
'staff' make informed operational decisions when facing operational  
issue as they arise.

Duration: Probably till 2-3 months after launch, i.e. to the end of  
2008.

Focus:
1) Fleshing out management and operational issues which are  
encountered 'to launch' and 'post launch'.
2) Draft an initial 2-3 year Strategic Plan for HKCC to be proposed to  
larger Advisory Board

Level of Engagement: High

Paid Position: No.

--- Tier  B: Larger Advisory Board - Strategic Issues

Size:  Depends on how many 'constituencies'  are thought necessary to  
be represented, with perhaps 2 delegates per constitutency, together  
with how many 'rock stars'/luminaries

e.g.  Licensor Perspective, Licensees Perspective, HKIT Sector, Legal,  
Academic etc.
Probably 8+1 to start with (i.e. 4 constituencies + 1 Mgmt)

Main Function: To provide strategic guidance to HKCC

Duration:  2 years terms
Ideally individuals would serve a 2 year staggered terms, with  
initially one delegate having a 1 year term.

Focus:
1) To evolve and ratify the 2-3 year Strategic Plan
2) Fund Raising
3) Help communicate and promote HKCC by lending their personal  
credibility, experience,  stature and relationships to ensure HKCC's  
long-term success.

Level of Engagement: Low/As needed or time permits

Paid Position: No, but travel budget may be provided dependent on  
funding.

m2c.
