|Description=''Following Alexis West'' is a documentary film which examines the effect of New Zealand’s switch to a proportional representation system has had on its politics and culture since 1996.
|Quote=Creative Commons is great for indies like me because we can still make what money off of our work there is to be made – while not denying other people the ability to spread it around and make use of it for non-profit purposes, without requiring meetings with lawyers.

Now 400 millions research papers are available for peace
solutions, but there is no result for it, unless the messages
posted in the website http://www.goldenduas.com are researched by
researchers all over the world. Otherwise the world cannot have peace and
Unity for some reasons or the other.

Thank you very much for joining me in the interest of public safety
and peace. Most of the followers are researchers
and good educated persons involving peace,unity and safety amongst all
communities in the world and accordingly we sought support from all of
you to study and analyze the God's messages posted in the website
www.goldenduas.com and it may be advertised all over the world on
the reason that every person is suffering due to all kind of
natural calamaties in the world. God's messages posted in the
Website www.goldenduas.com are to be followed, otherwise no government and
scientist can safeguard life and liberty of the public of all
communities in the world according to Quranic verses 17:16 and
28:59.Internet services in the world are requested to support us to
spread our website messages to each and every corner of the world so
thot it can be
known and discussed by all the internet communities in the world.

Holy Bible says:
1."Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye
There fore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves".
- Matthew 10:16.
2."Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance;
with divine retribution he will come to save you". - Isaiah 35:4

Holy Quran says:
28:59. Nor was thy Lord the one
To destroy a population until
He had sent to its Centre
An apostle, rehearsing to them
Our Signs; nor are We
Going to destroy a population
Except when its members
Practice iniquity.

Our website http://www.goldenduas.com contains more information not only
to avoid all kinds of natural calamities in the world but also by
quranic verse 12:15
to improve growths in economy,business,education,employment,jobs,
health, wealth, security, faith and to be protected from climate
changes (heavy snow, rain, heat etc),and to cause unity and peace all
over the world. Our service all
over the world is a non-profitable service to all mankind and animals.

== License Usage ==

''Following Alexis West'' is being produced independently, and will seek distributors for the film’s commercial release. The documentary project involves the production of three separate end-formats: a 90-minute feature, released to American and European film festivals; a 56-minute New Zealand-only separate edit ‘By Popular Demand’; and over 20 hours of raw footage. According to Boyko, the digitised raw footage will most likely be released under the Creative Commons [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ Attribution-NonCommercial-Share Alike 3.0] licence, whereby it will be offered to the New Zealand film archive, the South Seas Film School, and the University of Texas School of Communication Radio-Television-Film program for educational purposes, as well as released online for further historical and other non-commercial projects. In addition, Boyko hopes to utilise the new CC+ licence for commercial use for non-share-alike projects.

== Motivations ==

''Following Alexis West'' producer Brian Boyko says that he accepts Creative Commons as a normal, ordinary part of the day-to-day functioning of the web. Inspired by the release of Cory Doctorow’s writing under Creative Commons, and the Flickr licence integration, Boyko believes his work should be open to anyone who is willing to use it fairly.

:‘If a kid wants to remix Sir Geoffrey Palmer into a rap battle with Eminem, best of luck to him. Creative Commons is great because I don't have to say up front who -can- use the material. Anyone can use the material with the guidelines provided; if you want to step outside the guidelines, well, it's possible, but we need to talk about that.’ (Email interview with Brian Boyko by Rachel Cobcroft, 28 December 2007)

On the issue of the implementation of Creative Commons licences, Boyko believes that their structure is simple and straightforward. If problems arise, he believes, it is due to education: ‘People often labour under the delusion that everything is “all rights reserved” or anyone can take it and use it, and that there’s no middle ground.’

Importantly, Boyko believes that Creative Commons greatly increases the utility of a creator’s works:

:‘There's a chance Following Alexis West might rot in my attic, unloved and unsold. But even if the main work is a failure (and it's my first movie, so it might well be!) if there is a derivative utility to which my work can be used, I want people to be able to do so.’

=== We intend to measure our impact ===
CC intends to initiate an ongoing process for analysis and reporting of metrics to gauge impact. Measuring impact is a challenging research goal and we aim to put in place an ongoing analytical framework before 4.0 is launched (estimate launch date is December 2012). This first six-month phase (commenced in July 2012) will set a baseline and foundation for data driven analysis. Qualitative analysis may commence in January 2013 and will be directed by questions arising from data results. Initially data will be captured to answer the following questions that reflect CC impact (via the 4.0 intervention):

1. What is the number and growth rate of CC licensed materials worldwide? 
2. What is the use of CC licensed materials worldwide? 
3. We aspire to answer: what is the reuse of CC licensed materials worldwide? 
4. We aspire to identify: what is the ratio of 'best practice' attribution and 'best practice' reuse of CC licensed materials to total CC licensed materials? 
5. What is the ecosystem in which CC operates? 
6. We aspire to answer: in the absence of CC what would the open ecosystem look like? 
7. What is the broader public perception of CC? and 
8. What is the impact of CC activities? 

To achieve this before December 2012 is an aggressive but vital ambition, and is a rare opportunity to show how the work of CC (4.0 is core to all CC operations) affects the commons.

Other important performance metrics to be captured within the CC organization include: 
9. Large scale/high profile adopters of CC licenses; 
10. Translations of CC license deeds; 
11. Indications of a strengthening CC Affiliate network; and 
12. Diversification in the funding base of CC. 
 
Concurrent with the above metrics is an ongoing case study of CC impact. It seeks to highlight the performance of CC intervention in the open education field, specifically by answering: 
13. How does the active CC-led intervention for U.S. Dept. of Labor (US DOL) Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College Career Training ([http://www.doleta.gov/taaccct/ TAACCCT]) grantees achieve the goals of the US DOL TAACCCT program?

Data derived from these thirteen focal points will be made publicly available (CC BY licensed). CC metrics may ultimately be available directly in real time. This is a first step towards that goal.

=== Five projects address the thirteen research questions ===
# CC Licensed material metrics
# CC Ecosystem
# Public perception of CC
# Impact of CC activities
# Open Educational Resources (OER) case study

Details of each project are below. If you have any feedback, can help and/or contribute please contact Anna at creativecommons dot org . 

== 1. CC Licensed material metrics ==
The objectives for the version 4.0 suite of CC licences include:
* Support existing adoption models and frameworks;
* Interoperability;
* Internationalization;
* Recognize and address impediments to adoption amongst key communities (data, public sector information, education, science, GLAM etc.);
* Long lasting. 

The Research questions we seek to answer that will measure the impact of CC licenses are:
# What’s the number and growth rate of CC licensed materials worldwide?
# What’s the use of CC licensed materials worldwide?
# We aspire to answer: What’s the volume of re-use/remixing of CC licensed materials worldwide?
# We aspire to identify how well the terms of CC-licenses are complied with. Of all of the re-use/remixing we identify, how much comes with proper attribution, for example?

These questions are asked by our friends in the open community, funders, and CC needs greater visibility to where, how and which CC licenses are being used. Reuse is critical to measure as an indicator of quality and collaboration. Because licenses are central to CC and the open community, this data may reflect the value of investment in CC and guide future CC initiatives. Ultimately we may show how CC licenses and activities have facilitated growth in the value of the global commons.

We intend to initiate a systematic process of gathering and analyzing data, with the aim of capturing metrics before, during, and after the 4.0 launch. We will target emerging areas of public sector information, data and education, and will highlight large and/or significant adopters of CC licenses. This preliminary phase is dependent upon data availability.

The data described below is needed to answer the research questions. It is segmented into 2 data collections: world (total overall) and specific sites (as case studies with more detailed data).

http://wiki.creativecommons.org/images/a/a7/Screen_Shot_2012-08-15_at_12.12.06_PM.png

=== World data ===
The ‘world’ data represents a top level number that best represents the total number of CC licensed materials worldwide and their use. Previously we obtained this data via [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Metrics/License_statistics search engines] and we aim to use an improved approach, as outlined below:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! We seek to answer !! by indicating: !! using data:
|-
| What’s the number and growth rate of CC licensed materials worldwide? || Marking - applying a CC license to content|| Daily time series of total CC marked works by Jurisdiction, License type, License version, Domain (Site)
|-
| What’s the use of CC licensed materials worldwide? || Use || Daily time series of total use of CC marked works by Jurisdiction, License type, License version, Domain (Site)
|-
| We aspire to answer: What’s the re-use of CC licensed materials worldwide? || Re-use, Remix || Daily time series of total remix of CC marked works by Jurisdiction, License type, License version, Domain (Site)
|-
| We aspire to explore how well the terms of CC-licenses are complied with. Of reuse we identify, how much comes with proper attribution? || Best practice attribution || To be explored
|-
|}

A possible source for this data may be the CC server/s, and CC may develop a [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Reuse_tracking tool] by which users of CC licenses may track use and reuse of materials to which they have applied CC licenses. The tool may indicate use and attribution practices.

=== Key Sites ===

We have nominated sites that contain CC licensed materials for deeper analysis.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! We seek to answer !! by indicating: !! using data:
|-
| What’s the number and growth rate of CC licensed materials on the site?|| Marking - applying a CC license to content || Time series of CC marked works by Jurisdiction, License type, License version, Domain (site)
|-
| What’s the use of CC licensed materials on the site? ||Use || Time series of use of CC marked works by Jurisdiction, License type, License version, Domain (site)
|-
| We aspire to answer: What’s the re-use of CC licensed materials on the site? || Re-use, Remix || Time series of remix of CC marked works by Jurisdiction, License type, License version, Domain (site)
|-

|-
| How many people are impacted by CC licenses? ||Number of users of CC licensed content || Number of users of largest sites holding CC content - as an indicator
|-
|}

Data is being obtained via specific sites and personal contacts at those sites (where it is not publicly available). CC staff have enthusiastically nominated over fifty large repositories with CC content but due to limited resources we will refine it to a maximum of twenty. As an indication they currently include:

If you would like to suggest another major site or source of CC licensed materials please contact Anna at creativecommons dot org directly. Key sites for deeper analysis will be selected on the basis that they contain predominantly CC licensed materials, are large, obtaining license data is relatively straightforward and new/ anticipated fast growth sites. Where data is available it will be obtained to the highest granularity (article, page, blogpost, image, video, song) possible. We are able to provide a deeper level of data from key sites, for example, CCMixter data clearly indicates remixing, PLOS articles are all CC BY and their site provides rich data on article use, and from MOOCs (Massive Online Open Course) we can show trends in the number of people using CC licensed content. In the future we hope to work closely with key sites to analyze their data. Data may be aggregated by medium (e.g. total number of CC licensed photos across Flickr, Wikimedia Commons, Internet Archive etc.). Ultimately we aspire to establish a real time data feed but during this first phase we are collecting data in a variety of ways.

A site-by-site approach creates several data issues: different items of measurement; different data collation methods (personal contacts, websites, scripts etc); poor visibility to metrics methods of many sites etc. This is discussed in more detail in notes below. There will be data gaps in this data collection as the data availability is dependent upon each site. It is expected that the ‘world’ data will include site specific data - it can be used as a cross check at this stage.

== 2. The CC Ecosystem ==

Potential funders often ask questions similar to “how would the Open ecosystem look if CC didn’t exist? How would the ecosystem be affected without CC?” Secondly explicitness about the CC network may assist decisions and policy making by changing the framing of how people think about CC, indicating the intangible value of CC by pinpointing our visibility worldwide, and as a demonstration of our openness and transparency. Ultimately we may show how CC licenses and activities have facilitated growth in the value of the global commons.

=== What is the CC ecosystem? ===
Initially we define the ecosystem as the network in which CC operates. Creative Commons often must respond to events over which we have little control or influence. These events arise from the fields of technology, society and non-users of CC licenses, and economic, regulatory and environmental influences. CC exerts some control and influence over licensing of digital content; users of CC licenses, our Affiliates and the digital commons, and the technical infrastructure we use. CC has a high degree of control over our internal processes, how we communicate and promote our work and our suppliers.

=== Phase 1 ===
Understanding the current state of our ecosystem. We firstly need to identify the CC ecosystem and create a base for conversations about CC. This will provide a tool for answering key questions about intangible value.

To do this CC staff brainstormed a list of entities they are proud to name as contacts and informally allocated them to groups. We nominated the groups as: Legal, Education, GLAM, Technology, Science, Policy, Business, Funders, and International. From this we will create a publicly available, mapped dynamic network that reflects the global spread and depth of CC networks. Specifically, we will map key entities that CC works with regularly and/or considers an important friend. A first draft shall be completed for internal feedback in September 2012.

=== Phase 2 ===
A public draft for comment is aimed for release in December 2012. It may be initially used to create ongoing conversations aimed at answering:
# Who is affected by CC interventions?
# What is the place and importance of CC within the ecosystem?
# In the absence of CC in the ecosystem, what would the ecosystem look like?
# How do we work with other entities in the space to achieve mutual goals?
# Is this space growing?
# Where are the gaps and weaknesses in the CC ecosystem?
# Is there a role for CC to address any gaps and weaknesses?

The map will develop iteratively, for instance more detailed public information may be added to our contacts, indicators of network depth, and more! 

Dovetailing the two major projects described above are two smaller important projects and a large ongoing case study of CC impact.

== 3. What is the public perception of CC? ==
Phase 1: We intend to create a system for ongoing monitoring public perception of CC, as indicated by mentions in Twitter, Blogger and Wordpress.
Phase 2: Longitudinal analysis of trends in public perception may reflect development of Creative Commons and its role within the global commons. Significant findings may lead to deeper qualitative analysis. Ultimately public perception influences the intangible value of the CC brand.

== 4. What is the impact of CC activities? ==
Phase 1: A frequent outcome of CC activities is that interest is generated and that drives people to look at the CC website. We intend to initiate a systematic process of regular analysis of website metrics (initially via Google Analytics) - to highlight indications of increased awareness of CC, outcomes from campaigns, and long term growth in the CC profile. This may ultimately merge with the license metrics project. Initially we can show hits to license deeds for [https://www.google.com/fusiontables/embedviz?viz=GVIZ&t=MAP&gco_region=world&gco_dataMode=regions&containerId=gviz_canvas&q=select+gvizcountry%28col1%29,+col2,+col1+from+1mzuUaOUSfTqzSEIXsxIhRzZbT5kDW1JSX_vwT98&qrs=+where+gvizcountry%28col1%29+%3E%3D+&qre=+and+gvizcountry%28col1%29+%3C%3D+&qe=+limit+223&width=500&height=300 H1+2 of 2012] (Source: Google Analytics and Fusion Tables). We will also note major milestones such as: major adopters; translations of CC license deeds; the strength of our affiliate network and others.

Phase 2: Significant findings may lead to deeper qualitative analysis. Ultimately we may show how growth in the value of the global commons has been enabled by our activities.

== 5. OER Case study ==
We intend to describe the performance of CC intervention in the open education field (a sector of high opportunity), specifically by answering: How does the active CC-led intervention for DOL TAACCCT grantees achieve the goals of the US DOL TAACCCT program?
The DOL TAACCCT program is a high profile, large scale project reflecting use of CC licenses by U.S. TAACCCT Community College Grantees. Materials created via TAACCCT funding must be CC BY licensed. Potential impact indicators we are watching for include: increased access to education worldwide; cost savings; reduced teacher/faculty preparation time; enhanced quality; accelerated learning; innovations through collaboration. Research relating to this project is available at [http://open4us.org/resources/#Research http://open4us.org/resources/#Research] . Ultimately this OER case study may show how CC licenses and activities have facilitated growth in the value of the global open education movement.

== Notes, disclaimers and caveats==
Definitions of non-technically correct terms used:
*''Marking'' - applying a CC license (or CC0 public domain mark) to content. This is a once off event that occurs usually when the item is made available.
*''Use'' - the viewing/reading/listening/linking to a CC licensed item.
*''Re-use/Remix'' - actively taking parts of the CC licensed item/s and merging (mixing) them into other items to create a new item (e.g. video and music remixes, remixed open textbooks or mixed open courseware).
*''Site'' - domain/platform e.g. Flickr, Wikipedia, YouTube, CC Mixter, Vimeo, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Wordpress, Blogger, Public Library of Science, Directory of Open Journals, Khan Academy, Science Commons, Government sites.
*''Type'' - CC BY; CC BY-SA; CC BY-ND; CC BY-NC; CC BY-NC-SA; CC BY-NC-ND. Also includes CC0.
*''Version'' - version 1.0 (Dec 2002), version 2.0 (May 2004), version 2.5 (June 2005), version 3.0 (Feb 2007).
Consistency is a major challenge with this data. This work uses materials from a wide variety of sources that use different collation techniques and so may not be consistent. This includes data across different time periods - where data is unavailable estimates have been made. A decision was made to obtain the highest possible granularity in each item of measurement, but each item differs, for example one photo does not equal one educational course or one journal article as an item of measurement. Every effort has been made to standardize the data for consistency, however inaccuracies may result, especially in this early draft phase. To address this sources have been made available wherever practical for the reader to investigate calculation methods within each source. Data used may also have been cleaned.

Data will been obtained ethically from publicly available sources (websites) or inhouse (Google Analytics), however some data has been supplied using personal contacts within key sites - we have little influence in how it is calculated by others and are very grateful to these sources for going beyond their remit to supply us with any data. In many instances we have no visibility to detailed breakdowns of the data (by license type, jurisdiction) but data is made available by us to the fullest extent of availability. This is why details of license type/jurisdiction is available for some sites but not all - it is dependent upon data availability and reliability.

Time series data is essential to highlight patterns of use, and the data to be used is specific enough to be measured over the long term. Any time series data is influenced by the different dates of introduction of Creative Commons licenses into jurisdictions, and versions (4.0 anticipated Dec 12). An intention was to build upon prior work undertaken by Creative Commons concerning license statistics, however that work was heavily caveated with reliability concerns (e.g. volatility in the estimation algorithm, differences between Google and Yahoo results relating to license types, although positively correlated by jurisdiction and volume) and the method used can no longer be replicated, so we advise that the two time series be kept separate, although both are estimates only. We believe using CC servers will result in more accurate statistics. Secondly, we advise that the ‘global’ data and site data be kept separately and not summed. This is because there may be double counting between the two sources.

This study is not exhaustive nor does it reflect the totality of Creative Commons licensed materials and where estimations have been required they have been conservative. As such these representations may be considered conservative, low baselines.

All care has been taken to compile this data but Creative Commons accepts no responsibility for the ways in which it may be used by others. This is a first draft and we are still in the initial phase of this project so inaccuracies and corrections are expected.

How can Creative Commons do a better job at being more transparent and open to the community for ideas, feedback and participation?

I asked a few CC Affiliate public leads 5 questions in June 2007:

cc/cci should inform affiliates earlier about upcoming projects

it would be good if there was a regular internal newsletter (does not

list) that gives an overview of events that have taken place (like
launces, salons, intresting conferences), will take place and updates

maybe have a half yearly road-map or something like that published by

have a seminar on how to work with tech companies at the next summit

invite all of us to the 5 year cc bash in SF :)

Sorry for my late reply. Here is some thought on CC HQ
and the jurisdiction projects. A major issue to me is that
CC HQ seems not to have a clear idea of what to do with
the jurisdiction projects once the licenses are launched
(and, once launched, what to do in addition to license
maintenance). This showed up, for example, in last minute
fund-raising to support project leads to the Summit this year.

I want to be clear that this is not a criticism about CCi, whom
I think is overloaded with license porting and upgrading work.
As for iCommons, as is often said, it is a "platform" and for
iSummit organization. Relationship with jurisdiction projects
seems not be in her mission. So unless CC HQ has a clear idea
of its relationship with jurisdiction projects, I don't see how
the situation can be improved.

I think this is a difficult question. The jurisdiction projects
are quite diverse and each has her own objectives on what to go
after the licenses are ported. In Taiwan's case, as the project
has been sponsored by a government-funded research institute,
we cannot easily go into 'free culture' movement or 'open business'
experimentation. So we have concentrated on working with gov.
agencies on opening up their holdings. I will guess that in NGO-hosted
jurisdiction projects, they may want to be more progressive in their
actions.

I guess many jurisdiction project will tend to work on their
own pace and on areas of their emphases, and not to pay attention
to their relationship to CC HQ. I am not sure if transparency
in CC HQ will help much if the jurisdiction projects don't
expect much from CC HQ. (Of course, getting funded to go to
the Summit is another story.)

Nevertheless, here are my 2 cents:

1. CC HQ recognizes the problem (that she does not know
what to do with the jurisdiction projects in addition license
porting and maintenance) and formulate a clear position
on her relationship with post-launch jurisdiction projects.

2. CC HQ funds people already working in the jurisdiction
projects to study this problem and to come up with recommendations.

Hey Jon,

I had some server trouble, not sure whether you got this email already,
here's my response to your questions:

Paul basically mentioned all the important things.

I agree that no. 1 + no. 3 are crucial - there should be a flow of
information in regard to where CC is going. I would include here some
form of minutes from board meetings, if possible (Wikimedia Foundation
is able to do it!).

Newsletter is also a good idea - looking at Tessi's experience with
soliciting responses to the short survey, a good newsletter would need
someone to regularly directly nudge people about what they're doing -
general mails to the list don't really work.

To this I would add (but this is probably a goal that requires a much
longer time frame than the work on improving communication), clarifying
at some point the relationship between cc hq and country projects - in
the past there was all this talk of webpage policies, schwag policies,
etc. - but nothing really came out of it. So either it would be good to
declare that no such binding agreements will be signed with jurisdiction
projects - or that, on the contrary, the relationship will be formalized
- but then this relationship should be better defined, and it cannot
just be a structure of obligations placed on the jurisdiction projects.
This relationship is unclear and it makes a lot of other things unclear
as well, I think. For instance, if the jurisdiction projects are defined
as important partners for CC HQ, then shouldn't they have a
representative on CC board? (I know little about how boards are created
/ structured, so forgive me if this is a dumb idea). And it all boils
down to understanding what and how much we can all expect from each other.

Regarding point 4. - in case of big companies like Google, maybe once
their headquarters are convinced of CC licensing, they could somehow
delegate their particular offices (there is for instance one in Poland)
to support the spread of CC in other jurisdictions?

As a side note, what happened to the idea of having a separate CC US
jurisdiction project, as it was mentioned in Rio?

thanks for taking this initiative,

>alek.
