You should definitely check out this video about a TED talk of Kasper. He was one of the organizers of EASA 2003 in Friland, Denmark…
The Anti-Counterfeiting Barter Contract (ACTA), is a multinational accord for the duration of the purpose of establishing international standards for intellectual paraphernalia rights enforcement. The settlement aims to enact an worldwide acceptable framework for targeting counterfeit goods, generic medicines and copyright infraction on the Internet, and would spawn a novel governing body fa‡ade existing forums, such as the The human race Buy Plan, the Crowd Intellectual Feature Design, or the United Nations.
The concurrence was signed in October 2011 nearby Australia, Canada, Japan, Morocco, Altered Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, and the Synergistic States. In 2012, Mexico, the European Ring and 22 countries which are colleague states of the European Gang signed as well. No signatory has ratified (formally approved) the understanding, which would come into force after ratification by six countries. After passage into operative, the treaty would only apply in those countries that ratified it.
Supporters take described the bargain as a response to “the inflate in global m‚tier of spurious goods and pirated copyright protected works”. Trades Unions representing workers in the music, steam and TV industries and large bookish property-based organizations such as the Submission Facsimile Association of America and Pharmaceutical Scrutiny and Manufacturers of America were busy in the agreement”s development.
Opponents rumour the convention adversely affects fundamental rights including freedom of voicing and privacy. ACTA has also been criticised at near Doctors Without Borders for endangering access to medicines in developing countries. The private essence of negotiations has excluded civilized society groups, developing countries and the general worldwide from the concord”s compact activity and it has been described as policy laundering close critics including the Electronic Extremes Basis and the Entertainment Consumers Association.
The signature of the EU and divers of its member states resulted in the compliance in kick of the European Parliament”s appointed chief investigator, rapporteur Kader Arif, as grammatically as widespread protests across Europe. In 2012 the newly-appointed rapporteur, British MEP David Martin, recommended against the treaty, stating: “The intended benefits of this supranational harmony are undoubtedly outweighed close the potential threats to public liberties”. On 4 July 2012, the European Parliament rejected ACTA in plenary period, with 478 voting against the entente, 39 in favour and 165 MEPs abstaining.

Zurich, 16 February 2012. trans is a semi-annual professional journal of the Department of Architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ETHZ and has been managed by an independent student editorial team since 1997. The journal addresses current issues in architecture and urban development from a variety of perspectives, such as the humanities, politics, philosophy and the arts. trans thus sees itself as a platform for interdisciplinary discourse. Order provides us with a sense of structure and security. It helps us integrate impressions and information and to store objects systematically. Order is also a strategy for coping in a world that is becoming more and more complex and changing faster and faster. «Space and light and order. Those are the things that people need as much as they need bread or a place to sleep.» (Le Corbusier) However, order can result in standstill, monotony, boredom, and something alien or even hostile to existence.
Architecture and urban planning create order that does not always consider the needs of individuals and society. The division of functions in modernist urban planning is a classic example of this. And increasing social segregation currently attests to the potential dangers of too much order. What are the global effects of order that has been designed and built by a select few? In this era of individualism and radical social change, do we now instead need a ‹new order›? Can order prevail even in chaos? «The task of art today is to bring chaos into order.» (Theodor W. Adorno) Is order perhaps an obstacle, a cage, that limits our horizons?
What does it mean to be ‹in order›? In German, it also means that something is okay. But is that enough? A compromise? The end result of a vision and its realization? The theme of <trans21> provides a forum to explicitly explore what is not in order in today’s architecture and what we should do about it. Is ‹in order› or ‹okay› something we should strive for or is it merely a consolation prize?
We are interested in fostering discussion of different positions, directions, and perspectives. The form of contributions to this discussion can be diverse, ranging from scientific articles, personal essays, comments, and portraits to illustrations, photo series, or collages, depending on the content. We welcome a short description of your proposed submission in the form of an abstract. This should be no longer than one DIN A4 page or 600 words, possibly supplemented with a few pictures. Please send us your abstract to the e-mail address below by March 25, 2012. The final contribution is due by May 27, 2012. <trans21> will be available in selected bookstores in September 2012.

Hi all, today I came across two international stories that made me think about recent talking points in EASA.
First:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/greenslade/2012/jan/20/newspapers-japan
This is a story of a newspaper faced with the problem of not being able to print in the face of their biggest ever story.
Second:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/front_page/16614795.stm
This is a story of The Island Games. It’s a collection of 24 small islands (not like the UK or Ireland or something), that hold their own version of the Olympics. They’ve been at it for about the same length of as EASA has been on the go, but recently they’ve seen an arms race in terms of bidding to host the event (sound familiar?) and this year they have decided to dump the bidding process all together. Perhaps not a model for EASA, but interesting to follow non the less.
Hi,
we’re having “serious” problems in contacting CLEA-people. The e-mail address easa.clea@gmail.com doesn’t answer. Does someone know who is the contact person? And how has the communication with clea been in previous years? (easy, difficult, etc?)
best,
Ville
