This is to confirm the postponing of the launch. Further discussion has 
confirmed that the legal work cannot be completed by the end of February. It 
has also become increasingly uncertain that the transfer of the domain name 
could be assured by that date.

The process otherwise goes on. A new date will be confirmed once a date for 
the completion of the legal work can be established. Our relationship with CC 
International is unaffected by the change of plan. For what it's worth, I had 
a message yesterday from the Director commending the logo design and saying 
that she was on her way to Mumbai for the launch of the Indian CC licences. 

I'd like to acknowledge the important work done by Paul Sumpter thus far, and 
to thank him for the care and consideration which he is giving to the 
project, especially since the task of relating the licences to the NZ IP has 
turned out to be much larger than anyone anticipated. 

I would also like to thank Paul Reynolds, Winston Roberts and Ian Thomson, 
the people who assumed responsibility for carrying on the proposal that a CC 
NZ licence should be developed after the meeting last August, for meeting at 
short notice in Wellington yesterday so that I could work through all the 
planning issues with them. This was a very constructive meeting. 

A new date will be published when a revised plan for the project has been 
drawn up. 

Best wishes

Brian Opie
