there is a certain irony (i think) in the fact that 
 
    "please feel free to modify it" is an implicit CC licence (of a non
specific form)
    
The document has no mention of its own licence (in human readable format
- or to the best of my meagre abilities - in machine readable format).
How do you add a machine readable licence to a PDF? 
 
the URLs/mailtos in the PDF documents are not hyperlinks
 
The document(s) are scanned text - rather than "printed" PDF - thus much
larger 
 
This document (2 files which should be one) is not on the CC-NZ website

It should maybe also be available as a "source" file - rtf, open office,
something else so it can be modified. 

no criticsm intended...

I ma learning to be patient

        Thanks very much for your response, Leigh. Louise O'Brien said
she's been in touch with you - part of your development work.
        
        I've attached a copy of the flier. Seems I only have it in pdf -
please feel free to modify it. In its modified form it will undoubtedly
be of use to us as well.
        
        On the other things, I'll pick up a conversation after the Board
meeting in a week's time.
        
        Best wishes
        Brian

                Hi Brian, no I didn't get a response on that flier
request. The fliers that you used at the launch, we have been copying
them and leaving them in a stack at our office. We go through 10 a week!
Would be nice to have a flier that covers CC BY some day. Our admin
assistant has it on her list of things to do, the original file would
save some time there.
                
                As for the promotional CC event. Otago would love an
opportunity to talk about its move to CC BY and its IP Policy
<http://wikieducator.org/Otago_Polytechnic/Intellectual_property>
<http://wikieducator.org/Otago_Polytechnic/Intellectual_property>  . I
am writing a 1000 words for CC Aoteoroa soon after Feb 20 on the request
of someone from up there (name escapes me, is in my email). So perhaps
that article could be the expression of interest?
                
                Thanks for the invite Brian, I would very much like to
help and change the unfortunate reaction of those academics you mention.
                
                Regards
                Leigh

                        Hi Leigh
                        
                        I have to apologise to you for getting badly
behind (1),  and for somehow failing to introduce myself to you at the
launch (2). I had intended to learn much more about the background to
Otago Poly's decision to go with CC. There was an interesting moment at
a recent Council meeting when a statement assuming the self-evidence of
open institutional repositories for publicly funded research was made,
and some of the academics at the table responded in surprise (not
pleased) to the idea.
                        
                        That said - did you sort the issue below?
                        
                        And, I would like to start planning for a
promotional CC workshop in education, which it would be great if you,
Robin and your institution could lead. We're having the next Board
meeting on Friday week, and the sketching out of the year's plans will
be done then. Just an indication of interest  - I don't expect that
you've got any truly free time! - would be helpful at this stage.
                        
                        Best wishes
                        
                        Brian
