Hi Ryan, Thanks for the nuanced response. I believe the friction that we are experiencing is not about the necessity of attracting funds for CC Global but a lack of involvement or perceived restrictions of involvement from the European side. For me this was triggered by needing to translate a sentence that was so undutch in its way of addressing the Dutch public. Now you said in a mail that you are open for all feedback, you’ve got some for use about the wording of the donation notice on the deed pages. I’ve not seen a response to that or a structured way to discuss that donation message. Also, and this is a pet peeve, but the response to our initial concern was met with a mail by you stating you want to restrict this to the English language for now. Should you then make these messages available on other language deed pages? Also if you want to enable translations please make them available in such a way that we can at least have our languages in the system before the change goes live. Also make sure that all sentences are translatable. While Dutch is completely translated according to Transifex, the dutch deed pages have a English ‘donate now’ button: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.nl The Dutch and Belgian team has spent many person months translating the licenses and deeds and we pride ourselves of having a Dutch translation. To us this looks unprofessional. And this touches also a bit on the underlying feeling I/we have here. The affiliates feel ownership over these product because of the hard work we put into them. However we also feel a loss of control over them, this frustrates. Best, Maarten
