  Yes, that is the one.  It is an article that references my 
submission, as well as trying to convince people to make their own 
submissions.

  DCC isn't itself an 'organization', but a forum (BLOG, active mailing 
list, etc) to allow people to collaborate.  People in this mailing list 
can simply join the mailing list there and participate themselves, 
regardless of what organizational banners their submissions might be 
made under.

  The forum was formed in 2001 to allow primarily Free Software folks 
to coordinate responses to that round of Digital Copyright consultations 
(Originally called Canada-DMCA-Opponents ), and has expanded from there 
to wider discussion of technology policy.

  I'm also the policy coordinator for CLUE -- http://www.cluecan.ca/policy/
