== Affiliate Team Roadmap ==

Date submitted: November 2012

Revision: February 2014

Homepage: http://creativecommons.org.tr/

'''Jurisdiction''': Turkey

'''Project Leads''':

İlkay Holt, Özyeğin University (Public Lead)

Orçun Madran, Hacettepe University (Technical Lead)

'''Partners''':

Prof. Şirin Tekinay, Kadir Has University (Community Building Partner)

Prof. Yaşar Tonta, Hacettepe University (Community Building Partner)

Emre Bayamlıoğlu, Koç University (Legal Partner)

Mustafa Akgül, Bilkent University, Association of Internet Technologies (Technology Partner)

Gültekin Gürdal, İzmir Technology Institute (Community Building Partner)

Muhteşem Önder (Community Building; Language-- Affiliated Project Officer)

To attempt to reach all stakeholder communities (including OER and open data communities and artist communities), Creative Commons Turkey will institute a diverse board of members including public and legal leads, affiliated officers, local partners and members of sub-projects within CC Turkey. Project leads and partners work closely on the interests and concerns regarding CC Turkey.

The partners of the project and affiliated officers include names focused on community building, legal, technology, and languages. The initial composition of members will be discussed, and candidates approached, within the first year after the affiliate team forms.

Turkey's education sector is growing with more than 180 universities having more than 1.250.000 FTEs in Turkey. Many thriving artist communities exist throughout Turkey. It is important for all of these groups to have access to Creative Commons in order for them to apply fair and principled copyright licenses to their works, especially as internet distribution has become an important part of business models and of culture in Turkey.

'''''A Creative Commons Turkey affiliate will''''':

*support governments, municipalities, institutions, and organizations in the open licensing of educational resources, data sets, copyright works, research reports, statistics, photographic images, archive film, and other digital resources;

*complement laws pertaining to copyright and public domain by enabling creators to not only assert rights but communicate permissions;

*contribute to licensing discussions with CC HQ and with other CC affiliates, giving voice to Turkish legal considerations and issues.

*contribute to raising awareness and adoption of open licensing frameworks by creators;

*support collaborations and partnerships to maximize investments, implement sustainable production and share digital resources; and promote creative and innovative activities which deliver social and economic benefits.

'''Community'''

''Government''. Government departments, agencies and staff (copyright officers, web managers etc) who are responsible for the implementation of ‘open government’ policy and open access in public sector information.

''Cultural institutions''. GLAMs (i.e. Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) and community spaces which manage Turkish cultural and historical collections, and recognize the benefits of open access to these important materials to the community.

''Creative Industries''. Creators in the industry (professional or non-professional) who consider open access as part of a viable business model.

''Research sector''. Research organizations and repositories which licence their results and data under open access licensing terms, to enable open exchange in the research space.

''Education''. Institutions and projects promoting the creation and use of open educational resources.

''Professional Associations & non-profits''

'''Priorities for 2014-2015'''

*Collaboration with The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey and The Turkish Academy of Sciences and related institutions to encourage adaptation of Creative Commons licenses in open educational resources project. This will be the starting point to extend the Creative Commons Turkey initiative.

*Promote the use of Creative Commons Turkey as the default standard for publicly-funded information, research and cultural collections.

*Provide presentations and training across all sectors

*Continue documenting and facilitating case studies on the uptake of Creative Commons licenses.

*Run an international conference, national meetings on Creative Commons and form ccSalons in different cities.

Everybody in the audience and in the online chat can call "stop" at any point and have the meaning of that part explained and discussed.

==More about the European Academy of Law and Computing (EEAR), Merzig and Saarbrücken==

The [http://www.eear.eu/ European Academy of Law and Computing] was established in the year 2005 as a non-profit corporation situated in Merzig and Saarbrücken, near the borders to France and Luxemburg in south-western Germany. The Academy wants to build bridges between the IT sector and the world of legal professionals. Its mission therefore is threefold, combining research activities, educational courses and development of software and services.

In the area of research the Academy offers various workshops, conducts EU funded studies and hosts the Merzig Legal Database Forum [http://www.eear.eu/index.php?id=3 (Merziger Datenbankenforum Recht)], to name a few. In regard to education and additional qualification for lawyers a fully equipped test environment is on offer as well as a wide range of courses, covering topics like XML, Digital Data Management and Legal Web Services. The development activities include the German Database of Higher Education Law [http://www.eear.eu/kmk-hochschulrecht/ (KMK Hochschulrecht)], the Caveat Registry Service, applications for implementing the XJustiz standard, and other projects.

==More about Institute of Law and Informatics (Institut für Rechtsinformatik) at Saarland University, Saarbrücken==

The ‘Saarbrücker Rechtsinformatik’ (Law and Informatics in Saarbrücken) was founded in 1988 along with the establishment of the department of law and informatics, which was originally funded by the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft (Donors’ Association for the Promotion of Sciences and Humanities in Germany) and headed by Prof. Dr. Herberger. Today the Institute of Law and Informatics at Saarland University (Universität des Saarlandes in Saarbrücken, Germany) is maintained by the [http://herberger.jura.uni-sb.de/ Chair for Civil Law, Legal Theory and Legal Informatics Prof. Dr. Maximilian Herberger] and the [http://ruessmann.jura.uni-sb.de/ Chair for Civil Law, Civil Procedure and Philosophy of Law Prof. Dr. Helmut Rüßmann].

The [http://www.rechtsinformatik.de/pages/home.php?lang=EN Institute of Law and Informatics] concerns itself with the question of how legal professionals can improve their ways of working with the aid of new technology. Law and informatics is part of applied information technology just like business information systems and medical informatics are. In this context the Institute of Law and Informatics feels that it is its duty to make legal information electronically available, therefore deviating from the traditional printed format, and to support the electronic exchange of legal documents. Examples include online legal databases as well as the technical maintenance of the decision databases of the Courts, for example the [http://www.bundesverfassungsgericht.de/ websites of the Federal Constitutional Court], the Social, Labour and Fiscal Courts of the Saarland as well as the Administrative Court in Frankfurt am Main.

Furthermore, the Institute of Law and Informatics deals with Information Law and legal problems of new media, especially Internet Law. The Internet poses many legal questions, which concern current and future legislation of almost all areas of law and numerous regulations. In relation to the named issues the Institute concentrates mainly on questions of civil law.

Creative Commons would like to thank the former project leads,
Professor Dr. Thomas Dreier, Ellen Euler, and Oliver Meyer , and Dr. Till Jaeger, who in a shared effort adapted the CC licenses to German copyright law; the

Jurisdiction: Creative Commons Germany

Date submitted: October 2013

=Roadmap=

==Description==

The German CC Jurisdiction Project aims at helping everyone interested in a better way of sharing online. It does so by making the CCPL work under German law and by providing information and support. This is also a way to bridge some gaps that exist sometimes between CC theory and everyday use of works and licenses on the net. These frictions inter alia are caused by European history of law but also by varying discourses of creativity in different communities.

The project has two Leads, both located mainly in Berlin. John Weitzmann as Legal Project Lead is supported by the [http://eear.eu/index.php?id=47 European Academy of Law and Computing (EEAR)], Markus Beckedahl as Public Project Lead is supported by [http://newthinking-communications.de/ newthinking communications].

==Priorities for 2014==

- Coordinate with GEMA on a possible CC pilot for their members.

- Run a t-shirt contests online to let fans do new designs for schwag (both graphics only and with text).

- Initiate a new batch of flyers, brochures and other CC info material to be translated into German.

- Act as cooperation partner for re:publica 2014 and establish re:publica as a background for regular CC Europe meetings.

- Strengthen the cooperation with partners such as Wikimedia Germany and Humboldt University Berlin (Humboldt Law Clinic) to get important work done more quickly.

- Build the basic structure and introductory texts for the CC Commentary and build a group of volunteers to work on the first set of content.

- Re-design the CC DE website with a new theme and better social media integration and donation functions.

==Web resources==

''Jurisdiction website''

Our [http://de.creativecommons.org/ website] runs on Wordpress, with a theme modified from one of the previous themes of creativecommons.org. Next items on the agenda for the site are a better integration of our social media channels (twitter and facebook), an easy web-based donation scheme (using either PayPal or Sofortüberweisung.de), a remodeling of our FAQ section and integration of a module to aggregate CC news.

''CC Category within netzpolitik.org Weblog''

Markus Beckedahl is a very sought-after evangelist for freedom of the internet, open government and – as CC Germany Public Lead – also for CC licensing. He runs one of the top ten weblogs in Germany, [http://www.netzpolitik.org netzpolitik.org], which contains a separate [http://www.netzpolitik.org/category/creative-commons/ category] for CC-related topics with hundreds of articles.

''Internal ATeam Wiki''

For internal coordination of the Affiliate Team and for material collection and other purposes the EEAR maintains a moinmoin wiki that all team members can access.

==Metrics==

We see the numbers of CC licenses or CC licensed content as a rather arbitrary factor, because the sheer numbers themselves do in no way reflect quality and relevance of the so lincensed content. They also tend to distort debates about the benefits and downsides of alternative licensing away from the aspect of individual creators making licensing decisions. We see more value in highlighting certain projects, groups or individuals that in our opinion are possible role models for CC licensing.

==Competitions==

''CC DE Schwag Competition''

In cooperation with Wikimedia Germany we want to run an online competition to make new designs for CC schwag and merchandising material. This is meant to raise awareness of how diverse the group of CC licensors and re-users is and to also benefit the project in terms of material to promote CC's cause. The winners will be announced at one of the larger gatherings of net-minded people in Berlin (30C3, re:pubica, Linuxtag, …).

==Workshops, Presentations and Strategic Talks==

People from the CC DE Affiliate Team (ATeam) and the two project leads are frequently invited to talk about CC and alternative licensing and write articles and papers on the topic. There have also been individual consultations and strategic talks on the CCPL and their application with several stake holder institutions, one of the most prominent being the CC-GEMA dialogue, an exchange with the leading German collecting society for musical works. Other such consultantions have been held with public broadcasters, political and philathropic foundations and media.

==Institutional and Project Cooperations==

CC Germany is always open to cooperate with other groups and institutions if this apprears to be beneficial to our common(s) cause. In the past, such cooperations have existed f. e. with the German Film Museum Deutsche Kinemathek, the Board of Open Youth Education of the State of Baden-Württemberg and others. We will continue to cooperate with the Berlin-based intervention platform Internet & Society Co://aboratory by being represented on their advisory board and also with Wikimedia Germany, the Berlin-Brandenburg Media Authority (mabb) and the Berlin Technology Foundation (TSB) who have been working with us on Open Educational Resources (OER).

==Regional Collaboration==

Since 2009 there has been a regional collaboration on European CC Project Leads under the name CC Europe. It developed out of the Communia Project, a EU-funded Thematic Network on the digital public domain to which many European CC Projects are members. This structure has evolved since then and is now granted support by CC HQ in the form of 2 part-time Regional Coordinators, and the same support is in place now for other regions around the world.

'''Affiliate Program Enhancements''' -- Call for Affiliate comments on updated MOU and policies

In an effort to improve our Affiliate program and CC's global reach and impact, Creative Commons is enhancing existing opportunities for individuals and organizations to engage with CC, and creating new ones. Among other things, we aim to improve our infrastructure so that we can better support the efforts of our Affiliates and their collaboration, with CC directly as well as between themselves and their jurisdictions and regions.

The first step in this process is to improve coordination with our existing Affiliates who have MOUs or similar agreements already in place. Many if not most of those agreements are outdated. We believe that updating, standardizing and modularizing these agreements will better serve CC and the Affiliates. Doing so provides a clearer picture of shared responsibilities and opportunities for improving our outreach, accountability, and opportunities for accomplishing shared goals like community building.

CC is pleased to post its updated Memorandum of Understanding and updated related Policies, for comment by our existing official Affiliates. These will replace our existing MOU and other Affiliate-related agreements and policies when finalized later this month. The comment process will close on '''18 October 2010'''.

Information about our updated MOU and policies can be found on our [[MOU and Policies Summary| MOU and Policies Summary Page]]. We encourage you to take a look at these documents and share your feedback. Please note that all Affiliates are expected to transition to the updated MOU by '''24 November 2010'''.

|description=Legal commentaries, as a format dating back to justinian roman law, are a key asset for legal work when both statutes and case law have to be considered. Just as they make statutory law workable for legal practice, legal commentaries can support working with private order standard systems and thus have developed for instance around the GPL license. For the six core licenses of Creative Commons, however, they don't yet exist in any comprehensive, let alone open and collaborative form. Thus, proposed here is to establish a collaborative, database-driven online commentary of worldwide scope for the six CC core licenses. To make it a sustainable up-to-date resource requires an intuitive web platform for collaboration and a group of international curators with clear rules and responsibilities.
|output=The most tangible output would be the launch of a comprehensive web resource (in a first test run f. e. under the URL http://www.commentary.cc), aggregating commenting legal texts to all sections of the core licenses, covering the related legislation, case law and scholarly texts. In addition, it would offer structured How-To texts for the most common licensing scenarios in as many languages as possible. The back-end of this resource must be easy to use and allow for multi-lingual editing and peer review processes.
|community=The primary target groups are legal practitioners who work or advise in the field of IP law and scholars of all disciplines concerned with Open Access. A special subset of this group are professors of law who will very likely be compelled to engage argumentatively with the commentary and contribute to it. At the same time the commentary would also target two additional groups, the first being CC Jurisdiction Projects who could use it as a knowledge base for outreach work, porting and other purposes. The second additional target group is the everyday parties to CC licensing agreements, i. e. authors and users. Thus, the commentary would offer human-readable explanations at least on its most legalese parts.
|community relationship=The entity responsible for this proposal is the European Academy of Law and Computing (EEAR). It is a non-profit situated in the Saarland region in south-western Germany and was founded as a public private partnership to build bridges between the worlds of legal pracititioners and IT professionals. This is done through courses, research projects and dialogue sessions with stakeholder in Germany and abroad. The Academy has ties with abroad institutions and individuals in Luxemburg, France, Australia, Russia, Italy and other countries. It co-hosts the main annual conference of experts from the judiciary and public adminitration in Germany. Since 2006 the Academy also hosts the legal project lead for Creatve Commons Germany. This has led to a vast number of cross connections between legal professionals, community projects and online evangelists in Europe, with the Academy fulfilling the role of a facilitator. One of these connections exists between CC Germany and the award winning iRights.info project. iRights offers an independent online knowledge base on IP law for non-lawyers that in its kind is unique in Europe. This is an ideal nucleus for building the group curating the commentary. Other institutions as well as knowledgable individuals have already indicated interest in contributing to this initiative.
|measurement=The impact could best be measured by website traffic and citations of the commentary, both online and offline. The commentary would be equipped with a deep linkable versioning system, allowing to continuously access any state of it for permanent linking to it on websites, in apps, in verdicts and also in paper publications in general. Another way to measure impact could be to assess the group curating the commentary. As there will have to be a merit-based membership policiy regarding this group, the number and quality of applications to join could tell a lot about the overall success of the initiative.
|participants=Initially it will take a rather small group of up to ten persons to get the basic commentary structure off the ground and develop and test the back-end. But as the content grows, especially when going multi-lingual, a larger group must be formed to maintain and update the commentary. To achieve this, a merit-based custodianship for every part of the commentary needs to be established, with the respective custodian making sure that curators are found and the content is correctly marked as up-to-date, outdated or non sensitive to change. This process can supported to quite an extent by automated processes.
|impact=Understanding how licenses are meant to function and how they are actually received in society and legal communities is important to sustain growth of the voluntary commons in the digital age. The commentary format can represent a substantial improvement to this understanding, just to name one concrete example: It would make possible a lateral review of all international case law regarding a specific CC license provision. This brings some additional stability to the legal discourse around the CCPL. It also helps to build up confidence in private order as a concept and improves legal certainty by handing legal practicioners a type of resource that is currently missing.
|tech needs=The initiative would mainly rely on free software tools like Drupal and LAMP to compile and present the commentary, as well as on collaborative OpenGroupWare for enabling collaboration of the curators group. From other projects the Academy can draw on a group of software developers of its own, of external partners like jurmatix Inc. and on student interns to have the authoring system built (or to adapt existing systems to the needs of the initiative). The skills to manage a project of changing proportions are present both in the Academy and in the iRights.info project group. The legal tools used for giving freedom to the commentary content would be either CC BY or CC0.
|challenges=Two possible challenges come to mind, one being the challenge to reach a basic consensus within the interested community on how the commentary should best be structured. This can probably be overcome by sticking to the well-known structure of the CC license texts and at the same time exerting extra care on clearly resembling that with the first visible prototype, because this will have a convincing effect and show workability of the structure presented. The second possible challenge is to ensure a sustainable selection process for the curators group and to ensure a continuous activity of that group. Depending on the success and impact of the commentary, the interest to become a contributer can range from very little to massive. In the first case, possible contributers must actively be approached and asked to join in, in the second, a staged contribution policy must be devised to optimally harvest the competence offered to the initiative.
|sustainability=The initiative is costly mainly in the phase when the underlying technology is set up and the basic content structures formed. Later, the costs are limited to maintenance of servers and backups, webspace and domain costs. At this later stage, content contributions are meant to be as much pro-bono as possible. On top of the open access community contributing unpaid time in this way, it should be possible to find institutional support from universities, research institutions, foundations and consumer protection bodies to cover the remaining costs, or to find seed funding for extensions to the commentary. Also, the sale of hard copies of the commentary can possibly generate funds to cover the long term costs.
|scalability=Scalability – or in fact the need to scale up – is limited in terms of the complexity of the commentary, because in this it directly corresponds to the CC licensing model which strives to keep complexity low. However, there are three dimensions in which the commentary could later be scaled up: After the basic content structures are established, they can be extended to additional languages, either entirely or in parts. The second scale dimension is that of a structural expansion of the content to cover the national license ports. The third dimension could then also be to expand to other legal tools offered by Creative Commons. To be ready for any of these, the first stage of development should already cover at least two languages, for practical reasons probably being English and German. For further languages and structural expansions, cooperation within the network of CC Jurisdiction Projects or with external projects like Global Voices is probably the best way forward.
|resource needs=Support from Creative Commons could be given by endorsing the commentary intiative as an integral part of the CC environment. Actual resources would only indirectly play a role, f. e. when CC staff wanted to contribute or review content or help with finding interesting curators around the globe.
|communication=The Academy runs the website of CC Germany and the regional platform CC Europe, offering general information, news and interactive elements to communicate with stakeholders and other CC affiliates. Newthinking, our public lead for CC Germany runs netzpolitik.org, a high-impact activism hub and the most linked-to blog in Germany. iRights.info is a website at the very center of independent IP law information on the german speaking web. The people behind all three entities are well known in the relevant communities. You won't find a panel, conference or public consultation touching IP law without at least one or two of them being invited.
