10. • 15 Years of Creative Commons
• Building a network for the future that brings in new voices.
“The mission of the Creative Commons Global Network is to build a global
commons of creativity and knowledge, and grow a movement that
advocates, promotes and enables openness and sharing around the world.”

11. • MOU structure was designed for license porting, but
today’s CC movement works in many areas, like policy,
advocacy, open education, open access and more
• Affiliate structure limits membership; makes it difficult to
recruit and retain new contributors

13. • There is a strong desire to work on shared projects and set shared goals, but no
structure to do support collaboration
• New network activities require more coordination, shared decision-making, and
adequate resourcing to have impact

14. • New governance and decision-making model: Global Network Council will be a
new representative body that will collaboratively define movement strategy and
provide stewardship for the CC licenses
• New membership model: no more affiliates
• Any individual contributor can become a member
• Organizations can join as Network Partners

15. CORE FUNCTION OF THE GLOBAL NETWORK COUNCIL
• Defined areas of activity or work programs (Platforms)
• Grow, evaluate and improve the network
• Advise and build consensus on global CC positions, strategy, network resource
allocation
• Participate in global fundraising efforts

16. • Country Teams are open to all Network Members and Partners working in that
country
• Each Country Team will send one representative to the Global Network Council
• Each Country Team will select an individual (similar to Public Lead) to be responsible
for coordinating and communicating on behalf of Country Team activities
• Country teams will develop policy and outreach strategy and oversee activities

17. CONSULTATION: Open until March 24
