Subject: [Cc-europe] Invitation to participate in the CC Europe WorkingGroup (first meeting 17.01.08)

Dear CC Europe Project Leads,

 

We have decided to start this mailing list as an effort:

- to coordinate our efforts in different European countries

- to take advantage of the COMMUNIA project meetings in order to meet and discuss our common problems and experiences, and

- to initiate a European CC working group.

 

Though we intent to take advantage of the COMMUNIA project to facilitate our meetings, the CC Europe working group and COMMUNIA project are distinct. The former is an informal forum devoted to the specific issues of the CC community in Europe, whereas the latter is an EU funded project more broadly interested in issues of the Public Domain and the commons.

 

The CC Europe list aims at being a low volume, topic specific list for tackling focused issues that relate to CC Europe projects. In that sense it is distinct from other lists such as COMMUNIA, CC-licenses or the CC-Community lists.

 

The role of CC International is to support this initiative by appearing in the meetings and sharing expertise from other regional CC working groups (e.g. CC Asia). CC Europe is an initiative by European CC Project Leads intended to be only a loose working group independent from CC International.

 

We plan our first meeting to take place in the frthcoming January, a day before the COMMUNIA meeting (17.01.08). The idea is to use this first meeting in order to discuss an agenda of those issues that are of the greatest concern for the CC Europe projects.

 

A proposed agenda could include the following items:

 

1. Europe Specific legal issues

- Moral Rights clauses

- Collecting Societies Issues

- Related Rights inclusion in v.3.0 of the licences

 

2. Organizational Issues

- Sustainability of national CC project (how we move from specific persons to org. structures)

- interaction between legal and non-legal experts

- interaction with other Open/ Free communities

- representation of national open content communities within CC structures (democratization of CC)

- funding issues

- Platforms used for the organization of community (online vs. offline/ facebook/ wiki/ mailing list/ blogs etc)

 

3. Any other business.

 

This is a draft agenda only and any additional items would be most welcome.

 

Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

IMPORTANT: please indicate whether you would like to participate in the first CC Europe meeting (17.01.08) so that we have an estimate of the number of people attending.

 

Kind Regards,

Alek Tarkowski (CC Poland)

Andrea Glorioso (CC Italy)

Juan Carlos De Martin (CC Italy)

Ignasi Labastida (CC Spain)
