[IP] law.gov

Dave, Carl

Is this going to be a US-only venture or would it be possible to expand internationally? So many of the pressing issues today cross state and national boundaries. Public International Law has become more and more about private law as a consequence. I know I might be hitting at the wrong time with massive scope creep here and I do apologize, but I figure why not see how possible it is?

Dear Dave -

For IP if you wish.

I'm working with some of the leading law schools in the country on a new effort to create a report detailing why the U.S. should create law.gov, a distributed, open source, authenticated registry and repository of all primary legal materials. We have any amazing group of co-conveners and official DC seems to be paying attention, so I'm hopeful we can get this across the finish line.
