The CC license suite was foundational to the creation of Creative Commons. To this day, the stewardship of CC licenses and public domain tools remainsone of the core functions of the organization.
At this milestone of the20thanniversary of Creative Commons, we are embarking on a public consultation around CC’s stewardship. Specifically,我们寻求共同定义CC在其作为CC法律工具管理者的角色中应该并将坚持的原则和责任。And we want you to participate.
Thepublic consultation draft欢迎所有人书面评论。(这是托管在谷歌文档;there is alsoa copy on our sitefor comments by email.)
You may also answer a few specific questions in ashort survey.
This effort will assist with:
- Resource allocation
- Prioritization
- Accountability
- Transparency
- Making space for others to fill gaps that CC cannot
- Resiliency of the licenses and public domain tools
- Rebuilding an active community of people around the world invested in the licenses and public domain tools
Our initial draft is an attempt to make explicit the values and the practices CC has followed over the years, and to identify where CC should continue investing its efforts, where it needs to improve, and what it should no longer continue. As we consider the work of Creative Commons in the next decade and look tonewendeavors and projects, we want to ensure we effectively sustain and nurture our existing tools.We can’t do this effectively without the CC community. Please help us define what good stewardship looks like by contributing to this consultation.
More information about the process and timeline as well as call details are available on theLicense Stewardshiplanding page.We aim to publish this renewed Stewardship Commitment in December 2021.
