Good evening,

Thanks Tobias for the gentle reminder and Primah, Max, Kayode and Patricia for filling the doodle poll. I encourage you to revisit the poll and select additional schedule slots now provided and update your choices. But just four persons from our vibrant CC Africa community sends wrong signals out there. More of us should fill the poll, soonest and peruse through the drafts to offer our best contributions.

The future of sharing in Africa is in your hands. Let's set aside some time to mould it together.

Thanks and best regards,

Alex

Dear colleagues and friends:

CC has published the 3rd (and I believe final) draft of the 4.0 licences. As with the last two drafts, CC HQ is now planning to hold skype calls for
each region to discuss this draft no 3.

We're planning on scheduling the call between 4 and 15 March. Can everyone interested in participating please fill in the doodle poll (link below)? We'll aim to announce the final times and dates of the calls, along with an agenda and call details later this week.

Africa poll - https://www.doodle.com/ktfvvs3xqhbqxk6d

Please find below an email from Diane with further information about the latest draft and the issues most likely to be discussed during the call. Last time we had very good discussions on the call and I hope we can do this again this time. At the very minimum I would like to see at least one representative from our African affiliate countries on the call (i.e. Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and South Africa) - but the more the merrier.

I said this before but it is worth restating I suppose: This may be our last chance to contribute to and comment on a set of licences that will be around for a very long time.

All the best,

Tobias

Subject: Draft 3 of 4.0: Published for Comment
To: Development of Creative Commons licenses <cc-licenses AT lists.ibiblio.org>


I'm pleased to announce that today we are publishing draft 3 of the 4.0 license suite.  This formally kicks off the third and final public comment period.

All six licenses:  http://tinyurl.com/coe2ftr

We have a number of issues queued for discussion.  Starting this coming Tuesday, we will be posting to this list topics prepared for discussion and on which we'd especially like your feedback.  The topics are summarized on the main discussion page and detailed on the individual wiki pages.  Here are those that we have already prepared and that will start landing in your inboxes next week:
(see the Draft 3 treatment boxes on each of those pages for more details.)

For enthusiasts, we encourage you to review the licenses and start considering those topics now.  Please watch for our posts and share your thoughts in reply.

We owe all of you a debt of gratitude for your patience.  All of us at CC are really excited about how the licenses are shaping up, and look forward to a successful, final discussion period.

Diane
