Great.  There's an Aroma Cafe right by the law school - perhaps meet there.

We're using three issues as mini-case studies: Internet governance, privacy, and IP/copyright.

I suspect the experience in Israel is similar to that in Canada and the comparative discussion would be really helpful.  We've got classes in Haifa focused on IP on May 8, 9, and 13th.  If you're at all interested in making the trip for a talk, please let me know.
