To: cc-affiliates AT lists.ibiblio.org, cc staff all <cc-staff AT lists.ibiblio.org>


Hi all

As you'll remember, a few weeks ago we sent around a series of doodle polls to determine the best times for the regional calls for draft 3 of 4.0.

The results of the polls are in, and we are pleased to announce the follow times for the calls:

Latin America - Thursday 7 March 8pm UTC
Arab World - Friday 8 March 4pm UTC
Africa - Monday 11 March 3pm UTC
Europe - Wednesday 13 March 1pm UTC
Asia-Pacific - Thursday 14 March 1am UTC

You do not need to respond to the doodle poll to join us - everyone is welcome. If you can't make the call for your region, feel free to join any of the other calls. You can find the agenda for all the calls here: https://docs.google.com/a/creativecommons.org/document/d/1rEzS1v66W23CZIMuJf8SxzEqoqQ7EUysQFnpXn7R97U/edit

We will hold the calls on Skype. If you think you will have difficulty connecting via Skype, let us know and we will conference call you in. 

Could everyone planning to attend the calls please send us an email confirming your attendance and providing:
1) your Skype user name; and/or
2) if you are unable to join via Skype, a number on which we can call you.

Let me know if you have any questions, either on this email or via skype (my account name is ccclinic).

Hi everyone,

As you all know, we are in the process of holding 4.0 conference calls with each region. Thank you to those of you who joined or plan to join us for those discussions.

We have also been seeking feedback from the community on the license-discuss mailing list on a few major outstanding issues. We hope to hear from affiliates about these topics, either on the mailing list, the regional calls or otherwise. We thought it would be helpful to aggregate all of the discussion prompts in one place for your review.

Last, we wanted to alert you all that we are planning to make a simple tool available for providing edits and comments on the license text. The tool is called Madison, and it is a free software program that allows for basic public editing. We will send more information as soon as it is up and ready to go. (Please note you are all, of course, welcome to provide feedback in any format; this is just one option.)

Thanks very much!
best,
Sarah

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
