Welcome to the discussion of the Creative Commons licenses in the
Netherlands!

It is my great pleasure to introduce to you Professor P. Bernt Hugenholtz
and Nynke Hendriks, our project leads for the Netherlands.

I would appreciate if you took the time to read the following
suggestions for the use of the mailing list. They have proven valuable in
other Creative Commons countries.

1) We suggest you bookmark important emails for future reference.
For example:

http://creativecommons.org/projects/international/nl/translated-license

is the first draft of the translation/adaptation.
You will most likely return to it often, as it is the centerpiece of
the discussion. Please bookmark it now for efficiency.

Furthermore:

http://creativecommons.org/projects/international/nl/english-changes.pdf

is the re-translation of the license plus the explanation of what
substantive legal changes were made. It may prove useful to bookmark
this, too.

2) Please try and keep your emails relatively short and limited to one
subject per email. This will prevent others from being overwhelmed, and
will help to catch up on discussions they may have missed. This approach
provides the additional benefit that you will be able to link back to
previous emails by subject very easily (as demonstrated above).

3) Please limit your suggestions and comments to things that will help
the licenses fit into Dutch law. The role of the discussion is not
to second-guess either Creative Commons' general policy or the
philosophy reflected in the licenses.
It's aim is to change the licenses the least amount necessary for
bringing them into accordance with Dutch law.
Suggestions going beyond this goal will most likely not affect the
final license. The first line of judgment on what changes are accepted
is Professor Hugenholtz’s. The final judgment is Creative Commons's and
will be reached with Professor Hugenholtz’s help.

4) Please feel free to ask general question about the licenses in the
cc-licenses mailing list. Part of the fun of this discussion will be, I
hope, that we get to compare the quirks and eccentricities of our
respective nations' copyright laws. I expect the archived discussions to
serve as a history of this experience. That way, your input will
continue to be useful to anyone from any country even after the
discussion in the Netherlands is completed.

I hope that these suggestions will help to make the discussion free and
healthy, yet focused on suggested changes to the licenses.

Thank you very much. It's now Professor Hugenholtz’s and Nynke Hendriks’s
discussion to lead,

all the best,

Christiane
