[Brian Opie <Brian.Opie AT vuw.ac.nz>]

Hi everyone

Can I make a suggestion on the matter of Maori names? The discussions as a 
far as they went about a CC Indigenous licence were conducted under the 
auspices of Te Taurawhiri i te Reo Maori  The Maori Language Commission, and 
the advice taken by the Council for the Humanities on the use of Maori names 
and titles was also taken from that source. A conversation had begun about an 
appropriate name for CCANZ, but it was not finalised.

I think remains the best way of achieving a name which can have national 
standing.

Best wishes
Brian

Hi,

I'd be keen to Skype in if you're near a computer and Internet, otherwise 
just flick me some notes afterwards :)

Best,

Jane
