2. FOUR KEY TENETS
• (The obviousness of) OPEN POLICY
• Publicly / foundation funded resources should be openly licensed
• Default = Open (via funding requirement)
• CC BY on content, CC0 on data
3. OPEN POLICY NETWORK
• Foster the creation, adoption, and implementation of open policies that
advance the public good
• Do this by supporting advocates, organizations, policymakers, and
connecting policy opportunities with those who can provide assistance
• 49 institutional OPN members
• CC founded OPN / on steering committee
• OPN work plan funded (in part) with support of Hewlett Foundation
4. INSTITUTE FOR OPEN
LEADERSHIP
• Global open movement requires new generation of open policy leaders
• 1-week in-person training on ‘open’ domains & open policy + 1-year open
policy project @ institutions / governments
• 13 “fellows”: Bangladesh, Barbados, Chile, Colombia, Greece, Nepal, New
Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Somalia, United States
• “Mentors” from open: education, science, access, data, software, culture
5. WHAT ARE THE FELLOWS DOING?
• https://openpolicynetwork.org/iol/#2015fellows
• Let’s hear from the IOL Fellows!
6. WHAT’S NEXT?
• IOL #1 fellows and mentors establish 13 new open policies in 2015
• IOL #2: Q1, 2016: location TBD
• Scale IOL (virtual, regional IOLs) to accommodate unmet demand (95+
applications for IOL #1)

Notas do Editor
big idea - change the rules on the money:
Public gets access to what the public paid for (argument rarely loses).
changes behavior: requires sharing as a condition of funding (on optional, discretionary grants / contracts)
moves open education / science / data into mainstream - open becomes status quo when $$$ requires sharing
moves the $ burden - for funding open - from foundations to government
Hewlett funded OER for a over 10 years - 10s of millions … 1 US DOL grant - $2 Billion
“Sustainability” ceases to be a problem - for open - when proper open policies are in place.
OA example: Research grant - include article pub fee in budget - supports OA journal operations. (see NIH, Gates, Welcome Trust)
No one org can do this alone. Changing global policy in all governments / all Foundations requires a global effort.
openpolicynetwork.org
open policy opportunities are rare - need immediate attention and support from the right experts
NO failed open policy opportunities
monthly video conferences - global updates
State of Open Policy reports, openness guides, HELP on web site, global open policy registry
- NOT enough to have 49 open orgs working on open policy - we need to Train new leaders - thousands of them - (“IOL fellows”) in the values and implementation of open licensing, policies, and practices.
- Expand reach of open policies into new institutions, countries and domains.
