This document contains updates from Dr. Cable Green on Creative Commons (CC) education strategies and initiatives. It discusses upcoming CC webinars on CC 4.0 licenses for education and getting feedback on revising the CC Education strategy. It also shares slides from an Open Policy Network presentation about optimizing funding cycles for educational resources by requiring open licensing of publicly funded materials so they can be more broadly used and accessed.

and participation in research,
education, technology, and culture...
But not enough people know what
“open” means or how to apply it.

12. IDEA
●

●
●
●
●
●
Warsaw CC Summit 2011
OER on the radar of policymakers
CC affiliates requested support
current efforts decentralized and uncoordinated
need a network to share and discuss
need best data, toolkits, arguments
let’s not miss opportunities that arise!

13. MISSION
● Foster the creation, adoption, and
implementation of open policies that advance the
public good.
● Do this by supporting advocates, organizations,
policymakers, and connecting policy
opportunities with those who can provide
assistance.

14. PRINCIPLES
● ‘Open Policy’ mantra: publicly funded resources
are openly licensed resources
● Default aim for licensing: Open Definition (with preference
for CC BY and CC0).
● Do not recreate the wheel; leverage expertise
● Work with existing policy recommendations: Paris OER,
BOAI, Panton Principles, Communia, etc.
● Free for anyone to join. Contribute and abide by mission
and guiding principles.

15. WORK PLAN
● Link to, catalog, and curate existing policy resources.
● Build new resources and/or services only where capacity or
expertise does not currently exist.
● Connect policy makers to experts.
● Provide baseline level of assistance for all opportunities.
● Share information with openly with members and the
public, using open licenses (of course), multiple languages,
transparent fashion.
