A correction ... I, along with Amy Boss and David Bartlett, served as ALI Representatives on the UCC 2B Committee. ALI withdrew as co-sponsor of 2B as a proposed new article in the Uniform Commercial Code and NCCUSL went ahead on its own to bring out the statute as a NCCUSL Uniform Law -- UCITA. Amy, David and I were invited to continue working with the Drafting Committee as non-voting Advisors. We declined -- for substantial reasons set forth in a joint letter that is posted on the 2BGuide and elsewhere.
Steve Chow is both an ALI member and a Uninform Law Commissioner from Massachusetts. He often presented non-majority views and motions as member of the Drafting Committee -- something for which I also became so well known that a motion offered by me was almost assured a negative vote unless, as rarely happened, it was not objected to by pro-draft industry observers.
Although not strictly a UCITA article, I review some of UCITA's principal features in a recent article in vol 5, #1 of Roger Williams University Law Review -- "Third Party Intrellectual Property Rights and Contractual Restrictions: Implications for Implementation fo the Telecommunications ACt of 1996". It is the Fall 1999 issue which came out at the end of Jan 2000.
