Thanks Rebecca, the picture is bigger now.

I watched Kathys video on youtube last night and see it's right time to collect more voices and ideas to put it into main agenda. 

I'm checking if I can make it this weekend.

Thanks Rebecca.  I just am not sure how many people in HK are really aware of even ICANN or gTLD, let along any further details....  Hope there will be at least some from the non-comm or free culture/speech advocates who will come next week.  Thanks for trhe note and the reference!!

Hi there Charles, 

For those from the non-commercial sector and free culture/free speech components, you may want to pass around a few materials. The non-commercial constituency at ICANN is strongly opposed to the IRT proposal for trademark protection on both substantive and procedural grounds. Details via the following two links: 

http://ncdnhc.org/profiles/blogs/ncucs-substantive-comments-on

http://ncdnhc.org/profiles/blogs/ncucs-procedural-comments-on

Also note that I wrote a blog post recently about free speech and ICANN:

http://rconversation.blogs.com/rconversation/2009/07/icann-and-free-speech.html

..and about China's re-engagement with ICANN for the first time in many years:

I'm copying Kathy Kleiman from the NCUC who led the effort against the IRT in New York and who I'm sure will be happy to provide more details.

Best,

Rebecca
