I think it can be circulated widely – I am putting up on twitter and other social media. Thanks KK From: "Dorothy K.

It is a well-drafted document especially given the time you had to pull it together. May we now circulate this widely? I believe that the clarity and simplicity of the text would lend well to public advocacy on this very important subject. best regards Dorothy K.

At yesterday's policy call, some members of NCUC suggested it would be great if NCUC were to join all the bodies - international organizations and institutions, individuals, civil society and academics – against these horrible copyright protection. Both Bills are meant to go for mark-up tomorrow, so there was no time for the letter to be put before the whole list. The letter – attached - has been drafted and ratified by both the NCUC EC and PC and was just sent; it reiterates the arguments already submitted and presented.
