Hi.

cc-jp mailing list members need an explanation and apology about the 
confusion over the meeting with Professor Lessig.

I am Adam Peake and Executive Research Fellow at GLOCOM (Tokyo.)  My 
apologies for writing this message mainly in English.  You can always 
reply to me in Japanese.

Professor Lessig will visit Tokyo, November 30 to December 7.  He has 
a very busy schedule.

We are planning to hold a meeting with Professor Lessig at GLOCOM on 
Monday, December 1, from 6:30 PM.  It will be an opportunity for the 
people who have been working on creative commons Japan to meet 
Professor Lessig and to talk about the project.

Last Friday (Oct. 17), I wrote to a group of people who have been 
working on the creative commons licenses, etc., and told them about 
the planned meeting. Space for the meeting at GLOCOM is limited so I 
wanted to give people who have been working on the project the first 
chance to say if they would like to join.  I hope all of you who feel 
you have worked on creative commons Japan received my email last 
Friday.  It is completely my fault if I missed anyone.  As well as 
limited space, we also want to have a discussion with Professor 
Lessig, so we cannot take so many people. I do not want to ask him to 
give a lecture to a large audience. Our meeting limit is 20 to 25 
people. I wish it could be more, but it is not possible.

The meeting will be in English and we are not planning to hire an interpreter.

Please let me know if you would like to attend on December 1.  Please 
understand that the meeting will be to discuss creative commons.  Our 
plan for the evening is to begin with a few words from Professor 
Lessig about creative commons, how things are going, etc. Then 
perhaps an introduction from the Japan team on the state of the 
project in Japan. So he can hear from you about issues here. Then 
moving on to general questions and answers and discussion about 
creative commons in the US, Japan, other countries, the differences 
and problems, etc. We will also have a few drinks and snacks. 
Informal.  I am sorry we cannot invite everyone on this mailing list, 
there are almost 70 subscribers.  But if you would like to attend, 
please send me email <ajp AT glocom.ac.jp>, tell me who you are and what 
contribution you think you have made to creative commons Japan.

My apologies for any confusion about the meeting.
