Hi Danyl: 

these are really good news. Hey, we always appreciate projects who are
making great progress! :-)

But it´s indeed a little short notice about the start of a public
discussion. I have one thing I would like
to discuss with you first. We don´t have a MOU signed so far with a
legal institution in New Zealand. 
And that´s the main reason why we haven´t announced New Zealand so far
on our webpage. 
But I think it would be really helpful for your plans to have the CC
webpage support for a discussion
and also for a nz.cc.org webpage. 
You can check out other countries (India, Ireland etc.) in public
discussion here:

Also I would really like to recommend to define some roles before you
kick-off. Who can be the Legal
Project Lead, will you have other team members e.g. for tech support?

And what we also will need is a first draft of a NZ-license and a
document with explanations of the substantial legal
changes. You need the approval of the first draft from Tina, our new
colleague here in Berlin. But one step
after another... :-)

I will attach the MOU for you. Please let me know what you think. 

Best, 

Eva

I am having a meeting next week with Dr Bryan Opie, Executive Direction of the Council for the Humanities (http://www.humanities.org.nz/) next week. We will be talking about an event planned for Dec 4 to launch draft versions of the Aotearoa (NZ) CC licenses for public feedback. I'm aware we're jumping the gun a bit in terms of your standard process. I will show Bryan the process information you sent me and try to clarify things but hooray for progress!

Their organisation also have a web project called the Humanities Research Network (http://www.humanitiesresearch.net/) and Bryan is advocating for their IT crew to host the proposed Aotearoa/ New Zealand CreativeCommons portal site. At the moment I am having difficulty contacting the guy who registered creativecommons.org.nz for us. Are you still able to offer us subdomains once we get a functional portal up and runnning? I would like to have both Aotearoa.creativecommons.org and nz.creativecommons.org (Aotearoa was the original name for our country prior to European colonisation) if this is possible.
