Open Policy Network #oeglobal
The document discusses the Open Policy Network (OPN), which aims to foster the creation and adoption of open policies that advance the public good. The OPN does this by supporting advocates, organizations, and policymakers. It connects policy opportunities with those who can provide assistance. The OPN has 49 institutional members and is funded in part by the Hewlett Foundation. It operates based on four key tenets: that publicly funded resources should be openly licensed, resources funded by foundations should be openly licensed, the default should be open policies via funding requirements, and content should use CC BY licensing while data uses CC0.

Editor's Notes
- #4 big idea - change the rules on the money: Public gets access to what the public paid for (argument rarely loses). changes behavior: requires sharing as a condition of funding (on optional, discretionary grants / contracts) moves open education / science / data into mainstream - open becomes status quo when $$$ requires sharing moves the $ burden - for funding open - from foundations to government Hewlett funded OER for a over 10 years - 10s of millions … 1 US DOL grant - $2 Billion “Sustainability” ceases to be a problem - for open - when proper open policies are in place. OA example: Research grant - include article pub fee in budget - supports OA journal operations. (see NIH, Gates, Welcome Trust)
- #5 No one org can do this alone. Changing global policy in all governments / all Foundations requires a global effort. openpolicynetwork.org open policy opportunities are rare - need immediate attention and support from the right experts NO failed open policy opportunities monthly video conferences - global updates State of Open Policy reports, openness guides, HELP on web site, global open policy registry
