Public Domain Guidelines

2010-08-05T21:27:45Z

Alex:

== Community-Based Norms and Use Guidelines ==
=== Public Comment Draft — 5 Aug 2010 ===
 

'''Purpose:''' The purpose of these Community-Based Norms and Use Guidelines is to articulate a set of core principles that providers and users of material in the public domain can agree upon for the sharing and reuse of public domain works. These principles will apply to greater and lesser degrees depending on the needs of particular user groups and communities. Thus, it is anticipated that user groups and communities may choose not to adopt all of the guidelines, and may refine those that are adopted to suit particular needs (though not in a way that changes their non binding status).

'''Use:''' These guidelines are intended for use with any type of content in the public domain. By public domain work, we mean a work that has no known, current copyright restrictions on its use, for whatever reason. Among others, a work may be in the public domain because the term of copyright has expired, the rights holder failed to register or renew copyright (where required), copyright protection was voluntarily surrendered (through the use of CC0 or otherwise), or the work does not constitute copyrightable subject matter.

'''Non Binding:''' These guidelines are voluntary and non binding. This means they are not legally enforceable when associated with a public domain work, whether as a license, contract or other legal instrument, or under any legal theory. Instead, like scholarly norms against plagiarism, they are intended to be associated with “good citizenship,” professional ethics, and social responsibility. Therefore, however these guidelines are implemented or refined, no covenants, contract terms or other legally enforceable conditions should be placed on the use of the public domain work beyond those that involve legal disclaimers, or as may be required by applicable law.

'''0.  Give credit where credit is due.'''<br/>
Whenever a public domain work is used, the author(s) (if known) should be cited. Citation may be made in accordance with any relevant scientific, scholarly, disciplinary or community practice. Additionally, if a public domain work has been curated or made available by a person other than the author, that provider should also be appropriately credited.

'''1. Provide original source information.''' <br/>
When redistributing all or part of a public domain work in modified or unmodified form, its source ("provenance") should be identified in accordance with any recognized standards in the applicable field or community, or by the means recommended by the provider. This usually includes providing a link back to the website page (if any) where the work was originally discovered, and making the link reasonable prominent and accessible to users. If the work has been curated and the curator has associated identifying information with the work, such as catalogue data or information about its inclusion in a collection, then provenance information should include that information.

'''2.  Show respect for the original work.''' <br/>
When a public domain work is modified and redistributed, any modifications made to the original should be clearly identified and the modified work should be labeled as having been modified, so that users are not confused as to the source of modifications. If the provider of a public domain work has requested that no modifications be made, or that the work be used consistent with identified quality control requirements, then users should consider observing the request.

'''3.  Preserve public domain marks and notices.''' <br/>
Users of a public domain work should not remove any public domain mark or notice that has been applied, or provide misleading information about its copyright status.

'''4.  Protect the reputation of authors and providers.''' <br/>
Whenever a public domain work is used or modified, the use or modification should not be attributed to the author or the provider of the work. The trademarks, name, or logos of the author or provider should not be used to endorse (or imply origin of) the public domain work without consent.

'''5.  Contribute discoveries back.''' <br/>
Users of a public domain work who generate new discoveries or works, or who add value or to a public domain work, should release the discoveries, modifications or additions into the public domain through CC0 or an equivalent tool.

'''6.  Share knowledge.''' <br/>
When the user of a public domain work has additional information about the work (such as details about its provenance, author, content or other possible rights holders), the user should share that knowledge. This may include tagging, annotating or commenting on a public domain work that is published online.

'''7.  Maximize a work's potential.''' <br/>
When a public domain work exists in multiple formats or media, it should be made available in the preferred format for maximizing accessibility, use and modification.

'''8. Support efforts to enrich the public domain.''' <br/>
Users of public domain works should support the efforts of the work's provider to preserve, care for, digitize and/or make available public domain works. This support should include monetary contributions, particularly when the work is being used for commercial or other for-profit purposes and the provider is a public or non profit institution.

I was in the San Francisco office from Tuesday through Friday of last week. All of the tech team members were in the office as well, so we held face-to-face meetings about several general issues, mostly relating to the new code for the license chooser and deeds, as well as some talk about implementation of our backup and redundancy plans. Our new rack-mounted server was in the office, so I spent some time further preparing that machine for the data center, and loading archived data onto it.

I'm mentoring a Google Summer of Code student who is writing a WordPress plugin that will hopefully integrate CC licensing into the media manager, as well as be a general purpose replacement for the plugin wplicense. Things are going well so far.

Prominent projects: migrating CC to Transifex.net as a hosted translation platform, migrating backups and log data to new server, fixing a few small bugs in our "one-click" donation code.

== Purpose of the Catalyst Grants Program ==

Creative Commons is investing up to $100,000 to empower individuals and communities deeply rooted in the principles of openness and sharing. With the Catalyst Grants program, Creative Commons will seed activities around the globe that support our mission. Our goal is to scale our community's efforts and support them in becoming self-sustainable. Through a rigorous public review and transparent evaluation process, the best proposals submitted by CC affiliates and the broader community, will be selected to receive $1,000–$10,000 to make their ideas a reality.

== Fundable Projects ==

Applicants may seek funding for activities that positively impact Creative Commons' mission of fostering creativity (cultural, educational, scientific and other content) in the commons, to promote understanding and adoption of CC's tools, licenses and technologies, and to support the building and work of communities that use or benefit from CC licenses, tools, and technologies.

Some funding may be ear-marked to address particular issues, programs or activities, geographies or other specified objectives or criteria, all as may be posted by Creative Commons.

Grants will range in amount from US$ 1,000 - US$ 10,000.

Example projects:
# Convening a workshop on best/recommended practices for developing and publishing Open Educational Resources, or CC-licensed works in some other high-value field.
# Publishing an academic article comparing multiple jurisdictions' laws on copyright exceptions and limitations.
# Establishing metrics for and measuring the impact of CC-licensed works within a particular field or discipline, such as education or science, or particular geography, such as Africa.
# Documenting novel business models that are enabled by Creative Commons licenses and technologies, including commercial ventures.
# Studying the benefits and challenges associated with incorporating CC licenses and technologies within governments, or libraries, museums and other cultural institutions.
# Preparing a white paper on the negative effects of license proliferation, or documenting case studies involving license incompatibilities.
# Supporting a local affiliate team implementing a CC-related technology challenge, such as adding license support to a specific CMS.
# Examining the effects that the licensing of databases and data have on scientific research and discovery.
# Creating a database of projects that have adopted the CC0 waiver, which places works in the public domain, for content and/or data they publish, and how such content and data is thereafter used by others and with what effects.
# Capacity-building for CC affiliate projects such as development of proposals for and pursuit of local funding.
# Outreach projects the demonstrate the value of CC, such as a clinic on using free software creation tools to remix CC-licensed content.

Funding may not be used for lobbying activities, license porting activities (launch events, legal review or translations of the licenses, etc.), Salons, exclusively for the creation of CC-licensed works, or for similar activities and events, all as determined by CC in its discretion. Events must be outcome-driven and integral to CC's mission. Grants cannot be used to support "meetings for the sake of meetings" or regional meetings unless those meetings result in outputs such as those described above. Funding may not be provided for events that Creative Commons may be funding in whole or in part.

Funds will be distributed beginning in August and cannot be applied to previously incurred expenses. Applications for activities funded by other means will not be accepted.

==Who May Apply==
Any organization or institution may apply. Applications from or endorsed by official CC affiliate institutions will receive preference. Joint applications from official CC affiliate institutions and other organizations are also welcomed, although each joint proposal will still be capped by the maximum grant amount. Applicants wishing to establish an official CC jurisdiction project in their country are encouraged to apply as well. Applications from non-OECD countries will be given special consideration.

There is no limit to the number of applications an organization or group of organizations may submit, although bear in mind that Creative Commons will try to distribute grants across organizations and regions.

== Application Process ==
Creative Commons will publish one or more Calls for Grant Applications, which will detail application processes and deadlines, as well as any supplemental application criteria. All applications must be submitted in English and will be made public on the Creative Commons wiki. The application form must be accompanied by a proposed budget. See below for more details.

Successful applicants will be required to sign a Grant Agreement as a condition of receiving funds, which agreement will specify reporting, accounting and other terms and conditions governing receipt and use of the funds. Among other things, all Grant Agreements will provide that all original material produced within the scope of the grant program will be made available under the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported] license or [http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ CC0].

Grant recipients must also agree to report on and document the project and use of funds as described by Creative Commons in the Grant Agreement. Recipients agree to participate in communication with the grant committee and coordinators, and also with fellow grantees, CC staff, and CC jurisdictions, all as may be reasonably requested.

== Application and Grant Calendar ==
* Call for CC affiliate Catalyst Grants applications: opens April 23
* Call for public Catalyst Grants applications: opens May 14
* Catalyst Fundraising Campaign: June 1 – June 30
* Deadline for all Catalyst Grants applications: June 30
* Review Committee convenes: July 1 – July 30
* Catalyst Grants awarded: beginning August 1

== Review Process ==
Following initial screening by CC for completeness and appropriateness of the project proposed, applications will be published online for a period of public review and comment. By submitting a grant application, Applicant agrees to such publication, and further agrees not to reveal any confidential or other information that the Applicant is restricted from disclosing publicly, to Creative Commons, or otherwise.

A Grant Review Committee established by Creative Commons will evaluate the grant applications and make recommendations to Creative Commons for final action. The committee will consist of CC staff as well as a single representative from each of the following regions: Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, Middle East/Arab world, and North America. Official CC affiliate institutions within each jurisdiction are expected to establish a process for selecting a single regional representative to serve on the Grant Review Committee; however, if no regional representative is selected or if a process is not established for any reason prior to the commencement of the Grant Review Committee's work, then Creative Commons may select a representative for the region. Regional representatives will serve for a period of one year, and are expected to make themselves available for conference calls and meetings to review and establish recommendations for review and action by Creative Commons.

Creative Commons reserves the right to amend or modify these terms at any time in its sole discretion, and to discontinue the Catalyst Grants program at any time.

== Letter Asking for Support ==
<br/>
Dear <First Name>,

As a supporter of Creative Commons, you recognize the importance of what we do for the sharing of education, science, and culture. We are excited to announce a new program that will help spread this openness even farther.

It’s called the Catalyst Grants program. Here’s how it works: Creative Commons will be awarding grants of $1000 to $10,000 to innovators, educators and researchers around the globe. Grant recipients will be selected through a rigorous public review and transparent evaluation process involving representatives from CC’s affiliate institutions around the globe.

Catalyst Grants will make it possible for individuals and organizations to harness the power of Creative Commons. A grant might enable a group in a developing country to research how Open Educational Resources can positively impact its community. Another could support a study of entrepreneurs using Creative Commons licenses to create a new class of socially responsible businesses.

But we can't do it without your help. Our goal is to raise $100,000 from CC supporters like you to fund the grants that will make all this possible. Donate today to help spread our mission of openness and innovation across all cultural and national boundaries: https://support.creativecommons.org/donate

== Purpose of Catalyst Grants Program ==

Creative Commons is investing up to $100,000 to empower individuals and communities deeply rooted in the principles of openness and sharing. With the Catalyst Grants program, Creative Commons will seed activities around the globe that support our mission. Our goal is to scale our community's efforts and support them in becoming self-sustainable. Through a rigorous public review and transparent evaluation process, the best proposals, submitted by CC Jurisdiction Teams and the broader community, will be selected to receive $1,000–$10,000 to make their ideas a reality.

== Fundable Projects ==

Applicants may seek funding for activities that positively impact Creative Commons' mission of fostering creativity (cultural, educational, scientific and other content) in the commons, to promote understanding and adoption of CC's tools, licenses and technologies, and to support the building and work of communities that use or benefit from CC licenses, tools, and technologies.

Some funding may be ear-marked to address particular issues, programs or activities, geographies or other specified objectives or criteria, all as may be indicated by Creative Commons in the relevant Call for Grant Proposals.

Grants will range in amount from US$ 1,000 - US$ 10,000.

Example projects:
# Convening a workshop on best/recommended practices for developing and publishing Open Educational Resources (or CC-licensed works in some other high-value field).
# Publishing an academic article comparing multiple jurisdictions' laws on copyright exceptions and limitations.
# Establishing metrics for and measuring the impact of CC-licensed works within a particular field or discipline, such as education or science, or particular geography, such as Africa.
# Documenting novel business models that are enabled by Creative Commons licenses and technologies, including commercial ventures.
# Studying the benefits and challenges associated with incorporating CC licenses and technologies within libraries, museums and other cultural institutions.
# Preparing a white paper on the negative effects of license proliferation, or documenting case studies involving license incompatibilities.
# Supporting a local team to implement a CC-related technology challenge, such as adding license support to a specific CMS.
# Examining the effects that the licensing of databases and data have on scientific research and discovery.
# Creating a database of projects that have adopted the CC0 waiver (placing works in the public domain) for content and/or data they publish, and how such content and data is thereafter used by others and with what effects.
# Capacity-building for CC affiliate projects such as development of proposals for and pursuit of local funding.
# Outreach projects the demonstrate the value of CC, such as a clinic on using free software creation tools to remix CC-licensed content.

Funding may not be used for lobbying activities, license porting activities (launch events, legal review of the licenses, etc.), Salons, exclusively for the creation of CC-licensed works, or for similar activities and events, all as determined by CC in its discretion. Events must be outcome-driven and integral to CC's mission. Grants will not support "meetings for the sake of meetings" nor regional meetings unless those meetings deliver specific, mission-relevant outputs.

Funds will be distributed beginning in August and cannot be applied to previously incurred expenses. Applications for activities funded by other means will not be accepted.

==Who May Apply==
Any organization or institution may apply. Applications from or endorsed by official CC affiliate institutions will receive preference. Joint applications from official CC affiliate institutions and other organizations are also welcomed, although each joint proposal will still be capped by the maximum grant amount. Applicants wishing to establish an official CC jurisdiction project in their country are encouraged to apply as well. Applications from non-OCED countries will be given special consideration.

There are no limit to the number of applications an organization or group of organizations can submit, although bear in mind the Grant Review Committee will distribute grants as fairly as possible across regions.

== Application Process ==
Creative Commons will publish one or more Calls for Grant Applications, which will detail application processes and deadlines, as well as any supplemental application criteria. All applications must be submitted in English and will be made public on the Creative Commons wiki. The application form must be accompanied by a proposed budget. See below for more details.

Successful applicants will be required to sign a Grant Agreement as a condition of receiving funds, which agreement will specify reporting, accounting and other terms and conditions governing receipt and use of the funds. Among other things, all Grant Agreements will provide that all original material produced within the scope of the grant program will be made available under the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported] license or [http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ CC0].

Grant recipients must also agree to report on and document the project and use of funds as described by Creative Commons in the Grant Agreement. Recipients agree to participate in communication with the grant committee and coordinators, and also with fellow grantees, CC staff, and CC jurisdictions, all as may be reasonably requested.

== Application and Grant Calendar ==
* Call for CC affiliate Catalyst Grants applications: opens April 23
* Call for public Catalyst Grants applications: opens May 14
* Catalyst Fundraising Campaign: June 1 – June 30
* Deadline for all Catalyst Grants applications: June 30
* Review Committee convenes: July 1 – July 30
* Catalyst Grants awarded: beginning August 1

== Review Process ==
Following initial screening by CC for completeness and appropriateness of the project proposed, applications will be published online for a period of public review and comment. By submitting a grant application, Applicant agrees to such publication, and further agrees not to reveal any confidential or other information that the Applicant is restricted from disclosing publicly, to Creative Commons, or otherwise.

A Grant Review Committee established by Creative Commons will evaluate the grant applications and make recommendations to Creative Commons for final action. The committee will consist of CC staff as well as a single representative from each of the following regions: Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, Middle East/Arab world, and North America. Official CC affiliate institutions within each jurisdiction are expected to establish a process for selecting a single regional representative to serve on the Grant Committee; however, if no regional representative is selected or if a process is not established for any reason prior to the commencement of the Grant Committee's work, then Creative Commons may select a representative for the region. Regional representatives will serve for a period of one year, and are expected to make themselves available for conference calls and meetings to review and establish recommendations for review and action by Creative Commons.

Creative Commons reserves the right to amend or modify these terms at any time in its sole discretion, and to discontinue the Catalyst Grants program at any time.
