3. Enlightenment and involvement
• Encourage reuse of the public domain materials.
• Reach not only to GLAM but also to authors, collecting societies and
publishers.
• Involve academic community in research and
maintenance/development of open access databases.
• Guidelines for libraries and other GLAM stakeholders on benefits of
PD/CC for open collections.

for local chapters for jurisdiction-based partnerships.
• Annual reports on what is passing to the public domain this year.
• Competition between different countries and jurisdictions.

5. Infrastructure
• Providing clarity by assembling PD-registries.
• The goal of registration and storage of all types of works to ensure
eventual transfer of everything into public domain.
• Open-source software to be made available to facilitate across-the-
board partnerships and jurisdiction-based registries integrated with
repositories.
