That should be fine.

When you have time please send me more information about what it is that I am supposed to do in Haifa, where to meet, where to park, etc.

Also, on the assumption that the program will be interesting, would it be okay for me to bring along one or two of my staff?

For the next 5 days I will be abroad, but will be accessible on my yahoo email account.

Howard

Thanks Howard - that's great.  Would 2:00 - 3:00 on the 8th work or is that too late?

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.
