Development of Creative Commons licenses

[Ricardo Gladwell <ax0n AT uklinux.net>]

Hi All,

One of my major concerns with many of the open/free content licenses 
I've seen is that they make little or no allowances for the format that 
the content is published under. For example, the ability to modify or 
use the content is meaningless if it is difficult if not illegal to 
actual extract the raw data from the format for your own use.

Additionally, many document formats require expensive applications to 
read, for example Microsoft Word. One particularly nice feature of the 
GNU Free Documentation License is that it requires a "Transparent" copy 
of all content be provided. That is, a copy in a format that anyone can 
open and edit with a generic text editor, generic paint program, etc.

What I would like to do is propose a new licensing option for the 
Creative Commons called the "Transparency Option" which requires that 
all content is supplied with a copy in a format using a publicly 
available specification and which can be edited in any generic editor.

How do I go about submitting this as a proposal that the CC could adopt?

Regards...
