[CC-czech] CC in Czech - progress report and updated MoU

Tue May 27 15:16:40 BST 2008

Dear Marek,

I thank you very much for your message and the wonderful news.

We are very excited to hear of all your developments, especially that the
Ministry of Culture and the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts now have official
representation on the team and that you are all in agreement with moving
forward with CC Czech.

Catharina and I have reviewed the MOU, and we agree that it is acceptable
and appropriate. We also appreciate your note regarding the misplaced
reference.

So, since we are in agreement about the MOU, I would like to ask all parties
to sign and send us the number of originals you require, plus an additional
original for our files. We will then sign and return the documents to you.
Please find our mailing address in the signature below.

In regards to your proposed time line for the license drafts, it seems very
reasonable to me. The Austrian and German CC lawyers are still finalizing
the license code for Version 3.0, and so if it would be of use to Petr and
luRe, I would happily connect you to CC Germany and CC Austria so that they
can exchange their thoughts and comments on the most current drafts.

It is also fantastic to hear that the team has secured the
creativecommons.cz domain name and that you plan for several impressive
events and projects down the road. We very much look forward to CC Czech's
growth and development! Please always feel free to send us information about
any initiatives you are involved in.

Finally, to conclude, I would just like to share with you some information
regarding the first international Communia conference, a thematic network of
copyright & public domain experts supported by the EU. They will be meeting
in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, on Monday 30 June and Tuesday 1 July 2008, and
some of the topics may be of professional interest to you as well:

Thanks again for your patience and enthusiasm. I look forward to hearing
from you and officially begin our collaboration with CC Czech. :-)

Best wishes,

Michelle
