I was wondering about the same thing.

I hadnīt heard anything about it until beginning of april, but I must also admit that I havenīt bothered to check up on US legislation lately even though I recieve the rexano mailing list.

http://www.rexano.org/

I think every country in Europe should have a couple of geeks who can relay changes and threats in legislation from abroad.

HR669 has been announced for some time in the US and in some channels it has been announced many times, only too often the message dies in transmission across the pond. Even in Europe bans like this are often passed unannounced. Even if announced there may still be little or no reaction, at least itīs like that over here.



So far this topic is receiving very little attention and gathering very little interest in Norway. No one bothers to ask a question or give an oppinion, most people just donīt care about this. I have to provoke to keep some keep debate going and keep topic alive. There are 5 threads about HR669 in 3 different reptile foums who have about 5000 unique members in total in our country. Only 2 of the 5 threads are still active and activity consists in 1 post every 2 days or perhaps up to 2 posts per day.

I expect some very few norwegians are reading through ate least some of these threads but I am sorry to report that I have not been able to recruit any meaningful amount of support from Norway so far..



I also think that HR669 should have been announced internationally at an earlier time. Itīs not enough to send the message from Pijac and dow the back channels. Messages like this should be lobbied by the hobby enthusiasts from one forum to the next imo.



Regards

oby
