The purpose of the Meeting was to build upon the success of the first Pacific Rim National Space Law Summit (Summit) hosted by the Center in 2009. The 2009 meeting focused on the national space laws of Pacific Rim nations.2 The 2010 meeting addressed the law of Earth Observation, the environment and related topics of various Pacific Rim nations. Like the first event, this meeting also provided a forum for an in-depth ex- perience in which the participants had the opportunity to learn from one another and to discuss, in detail, remote sensing and related law and their developing features in the Pacific Rim. As with the original Summit experts from Australia, China, Hong Kong (special administrative region of China), Japan, Korea 1 Joanne Irene Gabrynowicz is the Editor-in-Chief of the JOURNAL OF SPACE LAW. She is also a professor of space law and remote sensing law and the Director of the Na- tional Center for Remote Sensing, Air, and Space Law at the University of Mississippi School of Law. Prof. Gabrynowicz was the recipient of the 2001 Women in Aerospace Outstanding International Award and is a Director of the International Institute of Space Law and a member of the American Bar Association Forum on Air and Space Law. 2 35(2) J. SPACE L. (2009). iii 3 (South), the United States of America, and the United Nations participated. New to this year’s gathering were scholars from the Group on Earth Observations, Colombia, and Mexico. The private bar was represented as well this year with practitioners from the Hawaiian, U.S., and Sydney, Australia bar. Also new this year was an interdisciplinary paper addressing both science and law. The meeting format was designed to promote the exchange and understanding of information. This was accomplished by providing each speaker with half an hour to present his or her paper and each presentation was followed by at least another half hour during which the participants—and, new this year, commentators—raised questions and discussed the details of the presented paper. For most of the participants, it was the first time they had had the opportunity to meet one another, and this added another dimension to the learning experience. Exchanges were lively, sometimes heated, but always profes- sional and informative. In addition to the exchange of informa- tion and ideas that was occurring at the Meeting itself, distant participants kept informed of its contents via a live, real-time blogcast. This volume of the Journal of Space Law includes the pa- pers of Prof. Setsuko Aoki of the Faculty of Policy Management, Keio University, who addresses the quickly changing topic of Japanese Law and Regulations Concerning Remote Sensing Ac- tivities; Fermín Romero, Director para Asamblea General y Or- ganismos Internacionales Dirección General para la Organi- zación de las Naciones Unidas Secretaría de Relaciones Exteri- ores and Sergio Camacho Lara, Centro Regional de Enseñanza de Ciencia y Tecnología del Espacio para América Latina y el Caribe who, in their paper, recommend What Lawyers Need to Know About Science to Effectively Make and Address Laws for Remote Sensing and Environmental Monitoring; Prof. Steven Freeland, Professor of International Law and Associate Head of School (Research), School of Law, University of Western Sydney, describes the legal possibilities presented by Australia’s new space policy in Sensing a Change? The Re-Launch of Australia’s Space Policy and Some Possible Legal Implications; Prof. Jae Gon Lee, Professor of Law, School of Law, Chungnam National iv University, raises Remote Sensing Issues as they Relate to Ko- rea; some of China’s law is described by Prof. Yan Ling, Faculty of International Law, China University of Political Science and Law in her paper, Remote Sensing Data Distribution and Appli- cation in the Environmental Protection, Disaster Prevention, and Urban Planning in China; and in Regulation of Remote Sensing Activities in Hong Kong: Privacy, Access, Security, Copyright, and the Case of Google, Dr. Yun Zhao, Associate Professor, Fac- ulty of Law, the University of Hong Kong continues the data distribution discourse.
