Yes it will be useful to see the text to judge how good or bad the proposed law is.
True CC Africa or anybody can come up with one. However, the difference here is that SEACONET is partly made up of public/government officials from the region. That raises questions of transparency, how binding is the model law on the countries present, etc. But the first step is making the text public.

Alex,
I am actually attending the ARIPO/WIPO conference in Harare and will probably have a chance to speak to Chavula of SEACONET about progress with the model law. Alex, the model copyright law isn't a bad idea at all! The Africa CC Affiliates if they want could also come up with one.

I haven't, though two days ago requested an ARIPO/WIPO conference, Harare (Tue-Fri 9th next week) speaker to convey Creative Commons Africa Affiliates' concerns with the 'exclusive' nature of the process behind the so-called "Model Copyright Law" mooted by SEACONET. If somebody else managed, then please share.On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 12:48 AM, Ory Okolloh <ookolloh AT gmail.com> wrote:

I agree with Alex. It would help to see the model law itself so we know exactly what is being proposed. Beyond that, we've to be wary of attempts to harmonize laws across the board without due consideration for unique circumstances prevailing in different countries. Even in Africa, there are important nuances that might warrant local solutions not to mention regional ones (e.g. EAC). Besides, unquestionable harmonization from advanced economies is what many have been against in WIPO and elsewhere. Meeting WTO deadlines cannot be an excuse to harmonize across the board. Of course I can understand if participating countries will be encouraged to pick and choose what applies to them but presenting the model as the law for everybody to adopt. This is of particular concern given the participation of copyright administrators.DickOn Oct 7, 2012 2:43 PM, "Alex Gakuru" <gakuru AT gmail.com> wrote:
Thanks Charles. It would have been great to read the reported original 'model law' proposed. It's a shame SEACONET's website 'documents' page is blank http://www.seaconet.org/?page_id=9 Would anyone have a copy to share?
thanks
