"Username fernandotakai Member since Feb. 29, 2012, 2:41 p.m. About User has not submitted a bio. Memberships arthur-test Music Captioning" fernandotakai is listed as admin of Music Captioning team, but his joining was not recorded in the Activity page of the team. According to what seems to be his LinkedIn profile http://www.linkedin.com/pub/fernando-takai/14/976/48 he is "Senior Software Engineer at Participatory Culture Foundation". This would explain how his joining MC was not recorded in the Activity page. And his joining seems likely to have something to do with Amara's attempt to solve the task blocking issue.

"On February 10, 2012, the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) took the lead, and was joined by several other consumer groups, in submitting comments in support of a petition filed by Telecommunications for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Inc., Gallaudet University, and Participatory Culture Foundation requesting an exemption for certain classes of work from the anti-circumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Two of these exemption requests relate to closed captioning - one for IP based media and the other for fixed-disc based media. These exemptions will allow third parties to add or improve closed captioning on video programs without having to get permission from the copyright owner. ...." (with link to the text of the exemption)

The linked-to text of the exemption request is remarkavly clear and could bevery useful model in similar cases in other countries.
