[governance] SOPA

[Cynthia Wong]

Thanks to everyone who has raised SOPA.

FYI -- there is a hearing the U.S. Congress today on this bill: http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/hear_11162011.html

In addition, there are two civil society letters that may still be  
open for sign on.  You can read them here and here .  These letters  
have already been delivered to Congress in time for today's hearing,  
but the organizers may still add names to the letter as they come in.  
If you are interested in getting involved, please feel free to get in  
touch.

My organization CDT is also keeping a running list of all voices that  
have expressed concern about the bill here: http://cdt.org/report/growing-chorus-opposition-stop-online-piracy-act
If you have written about the bill and would like to add yours, please  
let me know.
