Are you concerned about ACTA? Do you have questions? Are you wondering what you can do?

Firstly you can get informed by:

• reviewing the What Is ACTA? summary on this site
• reading the arguments for and against ACTA on this site
• reading Tech Liberty NZ's ACTA FAQ
• reading Michael Geist's many posts and summaries of ACTA so far
• following the Links to resources and news items

Secondly, you can stay informed by following nzacta on Twitter, and by creating an account on this site to get email updates.

Thirdly, you can take action:

• If you're a member of InternetNZ, the Internet Service Providers Association of NZ (ISPANZ), NZ Open Source Society, The Creative Freedom Foundation NZ, or Tech Liberty NZ you can discuss ACTA in their forums. A number of these organisations and others have made submissions on MED's 'Enforcement in the Digital Environment' paper.
• Mark Saturday 10th April in your calendar, and participate in PublicACTA (in person in Wellington, or online). This event will focus on the whole ACTA content/process (not just the part MED is seeking input on currently) and will be an opportunity for New Zealand to lead the world in open public discussion on this issue. The other organisations involved in the acta.net.nz coalition will be fully supporting InternetNZ in this event.
• Blog, tweet and write about the issue using the tag 'nzacta'. Tell your friends to get involved.
• Write to your MP and/or Minister Simon Power and call for increased transparency

New Zealand's (leaked) negotiating position was one of the most balanced and least hardline copyright protectionist of all the countries participating in ACTA. Remember this is largely because you, and people like you, stood up and made our government listen regards section 92A.

That doesn't mean that NZ is a powerful voice in these negotiations though, or that NZ's representatives and our government don't need to understand your views. This is an opportunity to influence international norms regarding copyright and Internet freedom, at a critical time in history. People like you in other countries need us to be an example, to give them the confidence to make their governments listen too.
