Cc-hk mailing list

[Henry Oh <henryoh AT gmail.com>]

>From what I understand, NHK is still studying the feasibility of adopting CC
and could adopt CC within a year.  However, it always helps to apply
pressure by being able to point to what other similar entities are doing in
other CC jurisdictions (as well as learn from what other CC communities are
doing and taking what is useful for local CC efforts).  :)

I would like to learn more about what CC-HK did with RTHK and how CC-HK went
about it (and I think it would be nice to share that knowledge with other CC
communities in Asia).

Cheers and thanks for the article Mayella.
