- Rich: Of the three case studies that you're considering, the FreeSpeechDebate at the University of Oxford seems to be the most appropriate because it specifically addresses the thrust of your research. Examining judicial opinions weighing all arguments and The Open Net Initiative at the Berkman Center both seem to be too ambitious in scope.JW 20:33, 26 February 2013 (EST)

- Muromi: Instead of using Lessig's four factors, I think it would be interesting to use Zittrain's generativity lens to examine how China manages to innovate in spite of all the existing controls.
