Hi all,

drawing on what was discussed in the cc europe meeting on saturday @ NEXA, below there's a first draft of a mission statement/about text for the envisioned cc europe web presence. Compared to the MoC draft(s) the material content was cut down quite radically.

For those who were not present at the meeting: The MoC process seems to have catalyzed the thoughts and discussions of the previous meetings to a point where no consensus could be reached on any kind of signed document, partly because of issues of nearing a factual legal entity. So, as a lowest common denominator we decided to strictly limit cc europe to a web presence, email address and phone line, have a spokesperson and keep on with deciding all the rest without structures/informally. The residue of the MoC draft (= what is compatible with the informal model) is to be put online as an about page of the web presence.

Feel free to comment on this text, opinions welcome ...

About

CC Europe is the central online platform of the european Creative Commons Jurisdiction Projects. It is primarily intended to offer a contact point for organisations, authorities and individuals who want to get in touch with Creative Commons experts in relation to any kind of questions or projects of pan-european scale and scope. Likewise, CC Europe is the channel through which statements and common opinions of the CC Jurisdiction Projects are communicated to european-level organisations and policy makers, f. e. in the course of consultations on European Union legislation.

The further purpose of the CC Europe platform is to help coordinate the european CC Jurisdiction Projects for organising meetings and other events aimed at fostering collaboration and exchange between the participating Projects, for raising additional funds for transnational activities like studies, surveys and networking initiatives and for promoting Creative Commons licensing and open access in general by increasing the outreach of the free licensing community.

Also, CC Europe seeks to take a proactive role in expanding and building the Creative Commons Communities in Europe and endeavour to help identify networks and potential cooperation partners particularly in countries where no recognised Creative Commons Jurisdiction Projects exist. Apart from that case, questions and suggestions related to the application of Creative Commons licenses under a specific national jurisdiction within Europe should be sent to the respective CC Jurisdiction Project directly (see contact page for details).
