The School of Law has been accredited by the American Bar Association since 1945, has been a member of the American Association of Law Schools since 1944 and is the only public law school in Puerto Rico.<br /> <br /> The School of Law has a longstanding tradition as an innovative institution in many legal fields and is deeply committed to the advancement of important social values such as the ones embraced by the Creative Commons project. As a result of this broad commitment to social change, the [http://cyberclinicpr.org/ Cyberlaw Clinic of the U.P.R. School of Law] promotes principles of liberty and freedom of expression on the internet as well as the development of a technological and legal context that encourages individual and collective creativity. The Cyberlaw Clinic’s commitment to “free culture” has provided the ideal context for the development of the Creative Commons Puerto Rico (“CCPR”) project.<br /> <br /> CCPR is fully aware the importance of a rich and culturally diverse public domain for a vigorous democratic society and of the many ways in which cultural growth is stifled by a combination of technology, copyright law and practice, and the entertainment industry’s hold on the creation and dissemination of cultural products. CCPR understands what is at stake and is, thus, very serious about consistently following-up on the essential community-building and internationalizing dimension of this enterprise.<br /> <br /> Jurisdiction: Puerto Rico<br /> <br /> Complete list of all members of the Affiliate Team, their roles, and field(s) of<br /> expertise:<br /> * Hiram Meléndez-Juarbe, founder and Co-Lead, Assistant Professor, University of Puerto Rico School of Law (currently finalizing JSD at NYU School of Law), expert in Constitutional, Cyberlaw and Intellectual Property law<br /> * Chloé S. Georas, Co-Lead, Assistant Professor, University of Puerto Rico School of Law, Director of Cyberlaw Clinic, expert in Cyberlaw, Copyright and Art Law<br /> * Students of the Cyberlaw Clinic (10 through 16 students per year) work on different projects related to Creative Commons and open access<br /> * Occasional volunteers, including prior students who are now practicing lawyers<br /> <br /> Date of earliest MOU in jurisdiction: May 31, 2006<br /> <br /> Self-Identified Regions: Caribbean/Latin America<br /> <br /> Why do you identify yourself as being part of the listed regions?<br /> * Puerto Rico has a unique location in the history of the regions of Latin America, the Caribbean and North America. As a former colony of the Spain and a current territory of the United States, the island is a cultural, linguistic and historic crossroads between the Caribbean, Latin America and the United States.<br /> <br /> ===Vision===<br /> The University of Puerto Rico (UPR) School of Law and its Cyberlaw Clinic are<br /> committed to the promotion of innovative projects for social and legal change such as that of Creative Commons. CCPR fully understands the importance of a rich and culturally diverse public domain and is aware of the multiple ways in which cultural production and growth are often inhibited by a combination of technology, current copyright legal regimes and the practices of media industries. CCPR believes in free culture and open source and addresses its efforts towards advancing a culture of internet users that not only consumes contents, but, more importantly, actively engages in the production of new works. CCPR understands the potential as well as the challenges of the free culture movement and, as a result, is dedicated to the broad dimensions of the Creative Commons movement.<br /> <br /> ===Community===<br /> After we launched the CCPR licenses in February 2008, we have been working intensively to give educational presentations and workshops directed to many different audiences such academics, artists and musicians, among others. Many presentations have been requested, for instance, by specific academic departments or faculties, librarians, artists/musicians, art-related institutions (Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico), and specific festivals or activities (Festival de la Palabra, an international literary festival; Gráfica del Caribe, an international graphic arts event).<br /> <br /> We also attend many individual requests for consultations regarding CC licenses and their uses in specific contexts. In this sense, we serve all of Puerto Rico, both in terms of individual and organizational requests.<br /> <br /> ===Priorities===<br /> <br /> We are currently working on the consolidation of two open education projects:<br /> <br /> # Open Access Policy of the University of Puerto Rico School of Law &lt;br /&gt; On March 24, 2010, the Faculty of the University of Puerto Rico School of Law unanimously approved the adoption of an Open Access Policy (“OAP”) in order to share the fruits of its research and scholarship as broadly as possible and reduce barriers to access them. Through the OAP, articles accepted for publication of the Faculty of the School of Law will be available for free to the general public in an online digital repository. &lt;br /&gt; With the adoption of the OAP, the School of Law deepens its commitment to the global movement of open access, which promotes the free and unrestricted access to materials published digitally and placed online that are the product of academic endeavors. The open access movement is built around the principle that knowledge is a public good and, accordingly, the fruits of knowledge should be distributed for use by everyone, locally and globally. &lt;br /&gt; We are now working on the implementation phase of the Open Access Policy such as the design and creation of the repository.<br /> # BiblioTesis: National Online Repository for Theses &lt;br /&gt; The project entitled “The Online Publication of Thesis Approved by Universities of Puerto Rico,” directed by Prof. Manuel Lobato and assisted by the Cyberlaw Clinic on all legal aspects of said project has provided an intense laboratory of research, both legal and policy-related, regarding online publication in the context of academic settings. Funded by Puerto Rico Board of Higher Education, the project’s main purpose is to create a national online repository devoted to the publication of thesis produced at all institutions of higher education in Puerto Rico. Attached please find the following publication related to the project. &lt;br /&gt; Lobato Vico, Manuel (Investigador Principal) y Chloé S. Georas (Co- Investigadora). 2009. “La publicación en internet de tesis de maestría aprobadas por universidades de Puerto Rico”, Consejo de Educación Superior de Puerto Rico. &lt;br /&gt; We are now in conversations/meetings with the higher echelons of the UPR bureaucracy and the Puerto Rico Board of Higher Education to determine the next steps in the implementation of the project, including the design of the platform for the repository, which will give authors of a thesis the alternative to place their work under CC licenses. &lt;br /&gt; We have recently started to assist a non-profit organization called Tu Arte.org in the creation of an online museum dedicated to art in public spaces in Puerto Rico. <br /> # Online museum of Tu Arte.org&lt;br /&gt; As part of the creation of said online museum, we will advise our Cyberlaw Clinic clients to place all educational materials and images pertaining to art in public spaces in Puerto Rico under a CC license. This project is still in the initial stages and may take substantial time to become available online. &lt;br /&gt; We are also in the midst of organizing a CC Salon: <br /> # CCPR Salon &lt;br /&gt; After publicly launching the local version of the CC licenses in 2008, CCPR has taken on the task of educating and counseling creators in all fields of the valuable tools provided by these licenses. As part of this broad educational initiative, the Cyberlaw Clinic has decided to organize a “CC Salon,” an informal social event in which creative communities may mingle and share ideas, while they become familiar with the use of the CC licensing system and its advantages. As the host of a CC Salon, Puerto Rico will not only strengthen the bonds within our artistic community, but also further broaden the exchange of ideas between our local innovators and the rest of the world. &lt;br /&gt; We will bring Elizabeth Stark as our guest speaker and are planning various musical, visual arts and literary interventions as part of our CC Salon, which will take place in May 2011. &lt;br /&gt; Another project for this year involves the revamping of the websites of the Cyberlaw Clinic and CCPR.<br /> # Cyberlaw Clinic and CCPR websites &lt;br /&gt; A group of clinical students with technical expertise is assisting in the redesigning of the Cyberlaw Clinic and CCPR websites. <br /> <br /> ===Project Outputs and Expected Dates of Delivery===<br /> # Implementation of Open Access Policy of UPR School of Law: &lt;br /&gt; Date contingent upon the technical support and approval of other sections of the UPR related to IT<br /> # Further consolidation BiblioTesis project: &lt;br /&gt; Date contingent upon pending agreements between the UPR and the Board of Higher Education and upon the latter’s development of the technical platform for the repository<br /> # Online Museum of Tu Arte.org &lt;br /&gt; Date contingent upon clients of Tu Arte.org of Cyberlaw Clinic. <br /> # CCPR Salon: May 2011<br /> # Revamping of websites: Before the end of 2011<br /> <br /> ===Metrcis===<br /> As a mixed legal jurisdiction where the federal U.S. copyright regime coexists with<br /> the local moral rights legislation and jurisprudence, users of CC licenses in Puerto<br /> Rico use both the local CCPR licenses and the U.S. CC licenses. This adds a certain<br /> layer of complexity to the determination of the statistics of use of CC licenses in<br /> Puerto Rico.<br /> <br /> In terms of the Open Access Repository of the UPR School of Law and the<br /> BiblioTesis respository for thesis, the design proposals for each platform include mechanisms to track statistics of use.<br /> <br /> ===Sustainability and Scalability Materials===<br /> UPR School of Law has enabled the completion of the porting process and launching<br /> of the CCPR licenses in February 2008. Since then the UPR School of Law has<br /> funded many of the educational efforts at festivals and events where CCPR has given<br /> presentations.<br /> <br /> The UPR School of Law provides the full-time salaries of the two Co-Leads of CCPR<br /> and has included the CCPR project in the areas of endeavor of the students of the<br /> Cyberlaw Clinic, who dedicate time for academic credit to the ongoing open access<br /> projects. Furthermore, the UPR has also funded the JSD studies of CCPR founder<br /> Hiram Meléndez at NYU School of Law, where he is writing his dissertation on<br /> Cyberlaw/Intellectual Property-related topics, and plans to send Co-Lead Chloé<br /> Georas to do an LL.M. degree in Cyberlaw/Intellectual Property.<br /> <br /> The UPR School of Law also provides the physical infrastructure in terms of offices,<br /> technology and secretarial assistance, among others, as well as all other necessary<br /> material resources. Overall, the support of the UPR has been an invaluable key to the<br /> sustainability and increased commitments of the Cyberlaw Clinic/CCPR to open<br /> access and free culture projects in general.<br /> <br /> ===Collaboration===<br /> As part of the CC Latam Conference 2010 in Argentina, we were able to make<br /> valuable contacts with fellow CC Leads in the Latin American region and understand<br /> the parallelisms in terms of the projects being developed at our individual<br /> jurisdictional levels. We will continue to assist, to the extent that our institutional<br /> funding allows, to the regional meetings of CC Latam/Caribbean and of North<br /> America, given our mixed legal jurisdiction, and eventually work towards the<br /> participation and development of regional projects.<br /> <br /> ===Translation===<br /> Although Spanish and English are the languages spoken in Puerto Rico, Spanish is the<br /> primary language and, as such, the porting process involved the translation of the<br /> licenses to Spanish.</div>

The project team includes following people:<br /> ** Tomislav Medak, project lead (general co-ordination, evangelism, facilitation of porting and versioning-up, translation, public inquiries, fundraising)<br /> ** Marcell Mars, project lead (evangelism, outreach &amp; community building, technological expertise)<br /> ** Tomislav Domes, community co-ordinator (evangelism, education, community building)<br /> ** Diana Kovačević Remenarić, legal lead (legal advisory and co-ordination of public discussion in the process of porting and versioning-up)<br /> <br /> Date of earliest MOU in jurisdiction: June 10, 2003<br /> <br /> Self-Identified Region(s): Europe<br /> <br /> Geographically Croatia is a part of Europe, however one should note that Europe sometimes, particularly in issues of advocacy, gets equated with the political formation of European Union, which Croatia is not part of, but wil probably acceed in 2012 or 2013.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Vision== <br /> <br /> Initial Croatian localization of Creative Commons licenses back in 2005 was part of broader efforts of the emerging and burgeoning community of free culture creators who – inspired by free software ethos – subscribed to and promoted the ideas of culture of sharing and remixing. It is only after that early period that web services, media and institutions that the ethos and the licenses emerged on the radar of web services and public institutions.<br /> <br /> Nowadays when free culture and freely licensed content is no longer a mystery in the public's eye and creators are no longer ignorant, localized licenses provide Croatian content providers: cultural, educational and heritage institutions, media and web businesses with a legal framework for pursuing their mandate, commitment or interest to publish freely licensed or public domain content. Licenses in the Croatian jurisdiction have become a tool for free content publishing and a tool for free content advocacy.<br /> <br /> CC Croatia brings a useful mix to catalyze this process: experience of free culture community building, grass-root hacktivism, digital freedom advocacy, cultural policy expertise. As the international network of CC affiliates increasingly focuses on addressing educational, research and heritage institutions and public domain, so will the the CC Croatia intensify its work with institutional actors and content providers. With the entry of Croatia into the EU, it will work with the rest of EU CC projects on advocating the extension of structural public domain beyond the national context.<br /> <br /> ===Community===<br /> <br /> The CC Croatia has emerged out of the community of free culture creators. The project continues to receive the support of music and film artists, while collaborating with them in promoting free culture and helping them in adoption and enforcement of licenses. <br /> <br /> The project and Multimedia Institute will continue to provide creators and individual adopters with critical and fresh perspective on developments in digital culture by organizing conferences, guest lectures and other events throughout the year. In 2011 we will particularly focus on computer games and gaming culture by organizing a small international conference and an exhibition, with one of the focuses on free games and inclusion of free content into games.<br /> <br /> Also we'll engage next year more with the almost non-existent open education community, focusing our efforts on working with the institution of higher learning and librarians to start investigating ways of creating frameworks for publishing open education resources. A part of this effort will also focus on DYI free software/hardware solution for book scanning.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Priority Goals== <br /> <br /> 1. Focus-area:<br /> Translating CC0 deed, chooser, and FAQ. An overdue goal that will allow us to have an enlarged framework to talk to heritage and research institutions.<br /> <br /> 2. Focus-area:<br /> Identifying and approaching Croatian web content providing services who could adopt CC licensing framework for their content. With a number of smaller and several big content providing services already offering CC licensing, this will increase the outreach, visibility and adoption of licenses with the greater number of end users of those services.<br /> <br /> 3. Focus-area:<br /> Identifying and approaching potential partners in academia and education to develop together OER activities.<br /> <br /> ==Project Outputs==<br /> The outputs we plan to complete are as follows:<br /> <br /> #Focus-area 1 <br /> ##Project Output: translations of CC0 deed, chooser and FAQ<br /> ##Expected start date - Expected date of completion: Jan 1 – April 1, 2011<br /> ##Team Member(s) Responsible: Tomislav Medak, Diana Kovačević Remenarić<br /> ##How will this output help achieve your goals? The translation is a goal in itself, but it will allow us to have a complete set of localized legal tools and FAQs<br /> #Focus-area<br /> ##Project Output: five content providing web services identify and three with CC licensing implemented<br /> ##Expected start date - Expected date of completion: March 1 – Dec 31, 2011<br /> ##Team Member(s) Responsible: Tomislav Medak, Marcell Mars, Tomislav Domes <br /> ##How will this output help achieve your goals? Within the Croatian jurisdiction there is already of smaller and several large content providing services that have adopted the licenses and they generate the largest quantity of licensed content and largest visibility of licenses. New users of this kind will further drive the adoption and promote the licenses.<br /> #Focus-area<br /> ##Project Output: Three rounds of consultations with the Croatian proponents of open access (e.g. Library of the National Research Institute Ruđer Bošković, member of Croatian Academy of Sciences Vlatko Silobrčić, Hrčak database), Ministry of Education, Science and Sport, and a university, all focusing on initiating smaller scale OER cases. Forming one or more smaller sclae joint projects with partners from education sector.<br /> ##Expected start date - Expected date of completion: July 1, 2011 – Dec 31, 2011<br /> ##Team Member(s) Responsible: Marcell Mars, Tomislav Medak<br /> ##How will this output help achieve your goals? OER is an untreaded territory for local institutions of learning. Being a non-profit, non-academic institution, our access to these institutions is limited. Given the increasing social divide and student unrests over commercialization of education in Croatia, OER will create an inroad into the local academic context for issues of open access, open licensing, open education and public domain.<br /> <br /> ==Metrics==<br /> <br /> * How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 1? % of translated strings, completeness of respective web pages, coherence of language <br /> * How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 2? # of services and # of linkbacks to licenses<br /> * How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 3? developed small projects, access to drivers and decision-makers in institutions of higher education<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Resources Required==<br /> <br /> We will potentially need software developers to help web services we aprroach integrate licenses into their interfaces. A great source of developer expertise we can draw from is the hacker community active around our organization.<br /> <br /> We are short on OER and open access expertise and practical experience and will have to seek that from other CC affiliates. <br /> <br /> ==Sustainability and Scalability==<br /> <br /> CC Croatia has organizational stability through Multimedia Institute. The organization dedicates its organizational resources towards CC Croatia activities and compounds their effect with its other activities. It has done so for a number of years. If activities take longer to complete the organization will continue supporting them for as long as they take. Given that three persons within the organization are working part time on CC activities, the organization always has capacity to dedicate more work towards completing them.<br /> <br /> * How will you communicate the project's on-going progress and setbacks within the jurisdiction and the CC Affiliate Network? (e.g. email list updates, meetings, press releases) <br /> <br /> Through Multimedia Institute's mailing lists, CC-Croatia mailing list, Croatia CC project page, cc-affiliate mailing list.<br /> <br /> * How will you document the project so that others may replicate or learn from your efforts?<br /> <br /> Through public outputs of the project and if more detailed needed, oral transfer of knowledge.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Collaboration==<br /> <br /> * Please have a look at other roadmaps.<br /> ** How could the jurisdiction's plans help drive or support other jurisdictions' activities? <br /> <br /> We can provide experience with regards to community building and evangelizing free culture ethos.<br /> <br /> ** What are other jurisdictions doing that might support or contribute to the project?<br /> <br /> We would like to hook-up with jurisdictions that have an experience with ways of gaining access to the academia from the outside and initiating OER activities. Other aspect that we would like to follow others in is open data.<br /> <br /> * Would you be interested in mentoring new jurisdiction teams?<br /> <br /> We probably don't have the capacity to do it on an ongoing basis, but could provide one-off insights and feedback, particularly relating to direct work with the creators and community building.<br /> <br /> * Conversely, would you be interested in having a mentor from a more experienced jurisdiction team?<br /> <br /> It probably wouldn't be feasible, consultations would be more useful. However, there's already a structure for that within CC Europe meetings, provided they can continue beyond the Communia project.<br /> <br /> ===Regional===<br /> <br /> Very few jurisdictions have a roadmap, so it's hard hard to identify the projects we could collaborate on. We will probably continue discussing and working with CC Europe and particularly with CC Affiliates in the Balkans.<br /> <br /> ==Translation==<br /> <br /> Croatian CC activities are promoted primarily in Croatian language, which is for all intents and purposes a shared language with Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Monte Negro, so we are open to contributions from and to all those shared language communities. CC0 is not yet available in Croatian, but will soon be.<br /> <br /> Croatian CC translations are discussed with the free software localization communities and linguists.<br /> <br /> ==Timeline==<br /> 2nd Quarter (Dec / Feb / Mar)<br /> 1. translations of CC0 deed, chooser and FAQtranslations of CC0 deed, chooser and FAQ (Tomislav Medak, Diana Kovačević Remenarić)<br /> 2. expanding adoption to new web services (Tomislav Medak, Marcell Mars, Tomislav Domes, external software developer expertise)<br /> <br /> 3rd Quarter (Apr / May / Jun)<br /> 1. expanding adoption to new web services (Tomislav Medak, Marcell Mars, Tomislav Domes, external software developer expertise)<br /> 2. initiating OER activities (Tomislav Medak, Marcell Mars, external expertise on OER from CC Affiliates Network)<br /> <br /> 4th Quarter (Sep / Oct / Nov)<br /> 1. expanding adoption to new web services (Tomislav Medak, Marcell Mars, Tomislav Domes, external software developer expertise)<br /> 2. initiating OER activities (Tomislav Medak, Marcell Mars, external expertise on OER from CC Affiliates Network)</div>

Founded only in 1999, (and registered by the Ministry of Justice per regulation to operate as an NGO in the country) AYLU has rapidly established itself as one of the most active human rights NGOs in Azerbaijan with an impressive record of different activities and constituency of about 700 law students, masters and young practicing lawyers. . Its main task is to inform the younger Azerbaijani population, law students and lawyers in particular, of the Azerbaijani legislation and in particular of those provisions relating to the protection of human rights. As such it is the only NGO dedicated to addressing the problem of the lack of human rights understanding among young lawyers, leaving many individual human rights violations unresolved.<br /> <br /> AYLU has experience in copyright-related projects such as “Legal Enlightenment in Film Production”. The project is headed by Elmari Mamishov, together with associates Ismayil Mammadov, Parviz Isgandarov and Nigar Melikova. It was settled within the Azerbaijan Young Lawyers Union (AYLU) at Baku. The project was held in 2005 and was awarded USD 5000 by SDC.<br /> <br /> A booklet on the same subject was published, and four training sessions with about 30 participants were held in June 2005 by a.o. Mr. Kamran Imanov (Chairman of the State Copyright Agency).<br /> <br /> The website [http://www.anticorruption.az/ www.anticorruption.az] had been created by Azerbaijan Young Lawyers Union and devoted to the legal problems related to corruption in Azerbaijan. The organization is also a leading agency in the [http://www.yhrn.az/ National Youth Human Rights Netowrk.]<br /> <br /> The official website of Azerbaijan Young Lawyers Union is www.aylu.az.<br /> Acknowledgments<br /> <br /> <br /> Eurasia Partnership Foundation’s (EPF) mission is to empower people to effect change for social justice and economic prosperity through hands-on programs, helping them to improve their communities and their own lives. Through its foundations, registered locally in [http://epfound.am/ Armenia], [http://epfound.az/ Azerbaijan] and [http://epfound.ge/ Georgia], EPF raises and delivers seed capital to emerging civil society organizations. EPF is both a grant maker and a program implementer and is guided by five program mandates and approaches: Creating Opportunities for Civic and Economic Participation; Building Capacity for Evidence-Based Research to Improve Policy-Making; Fostering a Culture of Corporate and Community Philanthropy; Cross-Border Cooperation; and Open Door Grant Making.<br /> <br /> In May 2008, EPF in cooperation with CC has started the “Support to Caucasus Creative Commons” program that aims at establishing CC licensing framework in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. The program will enable and popularize the legal sharing and reuse of cultural, educational, and scientific works in the countries of the South Caucasus through offering free and easy-to-use Creative Commons licensing framework to creators, artists, and educators, as well as other internet-based communities in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. The program will harness further intellectual activity in the South Caucasus, will potentially provide a newer mechanism for economic activity, and, at the same time, will enhance opportunities for cross-border collaboration among creative communities in the South Caucasus and beyond.</div>

The first classes were held by seven professors teaching seven subjects to twenty-one students, four of whom were women. In 1907 it became an independent university college with the same status as the two national universities of Uppsala and Lund. Göteborg University was formally founded in 1954 through the amalgamation of this college with the Medical College, which had been established in 1949. During the years a number of previously independent colleges have been incorporated into the University. Today Göteborg University can offer the most comprehensive range of courses and degree programmes in Sweden. Göteborg University has about 40 000 students, a staff of well over four thousand, and almost as many part-time teachers spread over approx. 70 departments.<br /> <br /> More information: http://www.informatik.gu.se/</div>

It is a team of 80 lawyers, most of whom are licensed attorneys, legal advisors, and tax advisors.<br /> <br /> Grynhoff Woźny Maliński specializes in servicing entrepreneurs active in regulated sectors of the economy, in particular telecommunications, media, energy and TSL (transport-shipping-logistics)<br /> <br /> In the area of so-called “intellectual property”, the lawyers of Grynhoff, Woźny i Wspólnicy have also been active in various bigger initiatives, apart from servicing individual clients. They currently participate in projects such as [http://przyjazneprawoautorskie.pl/ “Friendly Copyrights”] and [http://wolnepodreczniki.pl/ “Free Textbooks”].<br /> <br /> In 2007 the Law Firm started founding “ITele(c)t”, an “intellectual property and new technologies law” competition for Polish law students. The competition is organized in cooperation with ELSA Poland.<br /> <br /> The main office of the Law Firm is located in Warsaw, and it operates branch offices in Poznań and Wrocław.<br /> <br /> =Acknowledgments=<br /> CC Poland would like to acknowledge and thank Prof. Elzbieta Traple and Piotr Wasilewski from the Institute of Civil Law at the Jagiellonian University for her involvement and support for the project.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Affiliate Team Roadmap= <br /> <br /> * Date submitted: December 2010<br /> * Timespan of this roadmap: January 2011-December 2011<br /> <br /> == Team information ==<br /> * Jurisdiction: Creative Commons Poland<br /> <br /> * Complete list of all members of the Affiliate Team, their roles, and field(s) of expertise:<br /> Justyna Hofmokl (Public Lead), Krzysztof Siewicz (Legal Lead), Alek Tarkowski (Public Lead), Klaudia Grabowska (part-time), Kamil Śliwowski (volunteer)<br /> <br /> * Date of earliest MOU in jurisdiction: 2005<br /> <br /> * Self-Identified Region(s): Europe <br /> <br /> ==Vision== <br /> <br /> * Why is Creative Commons important for the jurisdiction? <br /> Poland is a fast developing country with steadily growing economy that survived recent economic crisis without major turbulences. It is a fairly young population with a growing number of internet users. At the same time, the level of understanding of digital technologies and their potential advantages is relatively low. Similarly, public debate on intellectual property is dominated by a conservative discourse of “closure”. Creative Commons offers an important tool and set of ideas that allow us to present a different point of view in the public debate, and to offer models for content production and distribution that tap into the potential of digital technologies. We treat CC licenses as a legal tool that opens a wide range of social, cultural and economic changes.<br /> <br /> * What do you think makes a successful jurisdiction project?<br /> A successful jurisdiction project needs to achieve several things at once: 1) Build a solid local framework for using open licensing (localized licenses, knowledge base, support for users, etc.) 2); Build broad awareness of issues related to CC licensing; 3) Build a community of advanced users, early adopters and supporters of CC licensing; 4) Work with key stakeholders, through which CC licensing becomes popular and visible. At the same time, a successful project needs to become sustainable, in particular in financial terms.<br /> <br /> * How do you see the jurisdiction project contributing to the CC Affiliate Network?<br /> **CC Poland is one of the oldest European CC projects (we started in 2005). Throughout the years we have gained significant experience and knowledge on various aspects of license implementation and promotion. <br /> **Our leads are relatively active at the level of the international Affiliate Network. <br /> **In the last year, we have conducted a project dealing with opening scientific books (Otwórz książkę - Open the book), which in our opinion was both innovative and successful, and could serve as an example for similar projects abroad. It’s a good example of specific know-how that we have and could share<br /> **Having said this, we believe that in order to contribute better an institutional framework for international collaboration is needed as part of the Affiliate Network. Sharing with others is time- and resource-intensive and we lack resources to devote time and energy to outreach and collaboration abroad.<br /> <br /> ===Community===<br /> <br /> Creative Commons Poland is a fairly small project, with 3 persons actively involved on a daily basis. There is no real community involved in our activities on a day-to-day basis, but we are co-working with various organizations focused on reaching similar goals. CC Poland is a founding member of Polish Coalition for Open Education (an agreement of non-governmental organizations and institutions working in the field of education, science and culture). The Coalition promotes open educational resources and open licensing models. There is also a broad community of organizations, people and projects upon which we draw from time to time, for particular tasks or projects.<br /> <br /> In the year 2011 we plan to focus on three target groups / communities:<br /> *Supporters of openness in the scientific and educational sphere: this is a community we have been focusing upon in the last two years; it seems worthwhile to continue this co-operation <br /> *Government and public institutions: due to a large grant on open government we plan to work on advocacy of CC and open licensing among public institutions<br /> *Grant-givers: We focus upon this particular group due to strategic importance of convincing grant-givers to use CC licensing: a successful implementation of CC licensing in a grant program helps to spread the model fast. <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Priority Goals== <br /> <br /> <br /> '''1. Focus-area:''' Advocacy and cooperation with grant-giving institutions <br /> <br /> Our goal is to promote Creative Commons licensing among grant-giving institutions, as an important best practice for grant programs. Successful cooperation with both public and private grant-givers requires:<br /> <br /> - basic advocacy among a broad range of grant-giving institutions;<br /> <br /> - creating and in-depth toolkit for open licensing in grant programs, to be distributed among interested institutions;<br /> <br /> - providing insititutions (both grant-givers and grant-takers) with ongoing support on each level of the process (introducing open licensing to the grant scheme, training the grant-giver, conducting the grant competition with open licensing, providing support to grant-takers);<br /> <br /> Currently, with our help, open licensing has been introduced by the Orange Fundation (charitable arm of the Orange telecom) and the development aid program of the Polish Ministry of External Affairs. In 2011, we plan to work with a range of other organizations, among them the Trust for Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe.<br /> <br /> Possibly, as part of this focus area we will work on a broader project that introduces open models (among the CC licensing) into a regional public cultural institution, the Małopolska voivodeship cultural institute. We might also work on the implementation of CC-licensing as part of the Polish government’s content licensing scheme.<br /> <br /> * Why is it important?<br /> Working with grant-givers and public institutions is very important for wider promotion of CC licenses as well as for changing the perceived counter-culture image of, CC licenses. CC is frequently perceived in Poland as a tool used by copyright fighters not suitable for wider public. Establishing CC licenses as a standard licensing scheme for grant-givers will have a huge impact on the future uptake of licenses in Poland. <br /> <br /> * Which communities will benefit? <br /> Promoting CC licenses among grant-givers will be beneficial for different groups such us: institutions themselves, ngo’s (frequent beneficiaries of the grants), public. <br /> <br /> * Output: <br /> Toolkit for grant-giving institutions (September 2011).<br /> <br /> '''2. Focus-area:''' Further development and legal analysis of CC licenses in Poland<br /> <br /> In the year 2011 we would like to:<br /> - analyze and then implement into the Polish legal systems (pending upon their applicability) the CC0 and Public Domain Mark tools;<br /> <br /> - prepare a publication with a detailed legal analysis of the functioning of CC licenses in the Polish legal system, focusing on clarifying any potential or perceived conflicts or problems.<br /> <br /> * Why is it important? <br /> CC0 and Public Domain Mark are for us important, as a lot of discussion among advocates of openness in Poland focuses not only on open licensing, but also upon the Public Domain - we would like to provide tools that can be useful in this context.<br /> <br /> A detailed legal analysis will build upon our ongoing work in this area conducted in the previous years: a conference on legal aspects of free culture organized in 2008, a research paper on the implementation of CC0 into Polish law prepared in 2010, and a range of documents on issues and challenges related to porting the 3.0 licenses (ending with a paper by Krzysztof Siewicz published in 2010 in a volume on copyright law). Such an analysis is necessary to provide a solid reference that clarifies issues related to the use of CC licenses in Poland, seen from a legal perspective.<br /> <br /> * Which communities will benefit?<br /> This legal work will be beneficial to any person or institution interested in CC licensing or using CC licenses.<br /> <br /> * Output: <br /> Analysis and potential implementation of CC0 and Public Domain Mark tools, adapted to the Polish legal system (June 2011). Detailed legal analysis of the functioning of CC licenses in the Polish legal system (September 2011).<br /> <br /> '''3. Focus-area:''' Analysis and research of CC license use in Poland<br /> <br /> As part of this focus area we plan to:<br /> - conduct an evaluation of the use of open licensing in a cultural education grant program of the Orange Foundation - in order to obtain knowledge about the adoption of CC licensing by institutions (in this case, cultural NGOs and public institutions)<br /> <br /> - conduct a survey of CC-licensed content made available online, based on a web crawl of the Polish internet<br /> <br /> - create case studies of CC license use (and more broadly open licensing) in Poland, by different types of creators and institutions, and for different types of content<br /> <br /> * Why is it important? <br /> This research will provide us with a better understanding of the state of adoption of CC licenses in Poland. Furthermore, it will provide useful knowledge for other actors using CC licenses.<br /> * Which communities will benefit?<br /> This research work will be beneficial to any person or institution interested in CC licensing or using CC licenses.<br /> * Output: Evaluation of open licensing in the Orange Foundation grant program (March 2011). Results of the crawler study (June 2011). Case study project (September 2011).<br /> <br /> Other planned activities:<br /> * upgrade of the CC Poland webpage<br /> * update of the FAQ section on our webpage<br /> * increased online communication through the webpage and social media<br /> * regular community meetings as part of the NetWtorek meetings - monthly <br /> * gatherings of IT and NGO communities interested, among other things, in open models<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Metrics==<br /> <br /> * How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 1? <br /> Number of grant-giving institutions using CC licensing. Value of grant programs. Number of grant-takers. Amount and type of content made openly available.<br /> * How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 2? <br /> Delivery of planned outputs. Reaction to prepared documents in the legal community.<br /> * How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 3? <br /> Delivery of planned outputs. Responses to presented research results by key stakeholders, partners, media and public opinion.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Resources Required==<br /> <br /> In order to further grow, we need to obtain dedicated funding for CC activities in Poland. Currently, our leads are only partially funded to conduct CC activities, and we lack project funding. Some of the funding we have is due to the fact that we include CC licensing as part of a different project. Our goal for this year is to obtain such funding, which in particular will allow us to hire additional employees. <br /> We do not require any technological or material resources, we have a sufficient technological base and office space at the Centrum Cyfrowe Projekt: Polska, our CC affiliate institution.<br /> <br /> ==Sustainability and Scalability==<br /> <br /> * How will you ensure your goals will be completed if unforeseen circumstances interrupt the project, such as changes in the leadership of the project or outputs taking longer to complete than anticipated?<br /> Due to the current financing model, and our reliance on third-parties or volunteers in some areas, it is difficult for us to plan against or avoid delays. CC Poland is also currently largely dependent on the individual work of current leads and it is difficult to plan for the event of a potential change in leadership. <br /> <br /> * How will you communicate the project's on-going progress and setbacks within the jurisdiction and the CC Affiliate Network? (e.g. email list updates, meetings, press releases) <br /> We will publish updates on email lists and press releases. We would enjoy having the opportunity to discuss ongoing work through occassional conference calls.<br /> <br /> * How will you document the project so that others may replicate or learn from your efforts?<br /> We are working on employing in our work more intensively a wiki as a documentation mechanism. Also, through the case studies project we want to provide know-how on implementing CC-licensing in Poland.<br /> <br /> ===Regional===<br /> <br /> We're part of the CC-Europe network. In the future we would like to increase collaboration in the scope of Central and Eastern Europe, which we see as a region with a particular and share cultural identity and history. <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Translation==<br /> <br /> * In what language(s) will you promote CC in the jurisdiction and why? Polish<br /> ** In which of these languages are licenses already available? CC0? Licenses are available in Polish, CC0 has not been localized.<br /> ** Into which of the remaining languages do you intend to translate the licenses? CC0? We do not plan further translations. We involve the local language community on the occasional basis, when translation work is required. Last time we’ve obtained community help when we localized the 3.0 version.</div>

It is the leading scientific supercomputing centre in Poland, with experience in provision of large scale Internet information and data services, as well as in Internet content replication techniques.<br /> <br /> ICM is also a research centre undertaking scientific challenges that cross interfaces separating traditional disciplines in multi-disciplinary effort, with main roots of complex systems and processes in life sciences, physics and chemistry, atmospheric and environmental sciences and decision sciences.<br /> <br /> ICM facilitates conducting advanced scientific computational projects by Polish and international research groups and serves as an an educational centre in computational science and modeling.<br /> <br /> Since 1995 ICM is running a multi-terabyte national virtual library programme (with over 10,000 full text articles being downloaded daily) serving hundreds of scientific and research institutions in Poland.<br /> Furthermore, through the Digital Internet Repository of Science (DIR) project, ICM is creating a management system and public archive for digital scientific materials. Finally, ICM is experienced in large scale text acquisition and processing and is one of the partners in European Digital Repository Infrastructure program (project “DRIVER”). With the Creative Commons Poland project, ICM UW has extended its interest in digital repositories into the field of open access to scientific materials.<br /> <br /> <br /> =More About the Law Firm Grynhoff Woźny Maliński=<br /> <br /> <br /> [http://www.gwmlegal.pl/ Grynhoff Woźny Maliński] is one of the biggest Polish law firms, established in 1996. It is a team of 80 lawyers, most of whom are licensed attorneys, legal advisors, and tax advisors.<br /> <br /> Grynhoff Woźny Maliński specializes in servicing entrepreneurs active in regulated sectors of the economy, in particular telecommunications, media, energy and TSL (transport-shipping-logistics)<br /> <br /> In the area of so-called “intellectual property”, the lawyers of Grynhoff, Woźny i Wspólnicy have also been active in various bigger initiatives, apart from servicing individual clients. They currently participate in projects such as [http://przyjazneprawoautorskie.pl/ “Friendly Copyrights”] and [http://wolnepodreczniki.pl/ “Free Textbooks”].<br /> <br /> In 2007 the Law Firm started founding “ITele(c)t”, an “intellectual property and new technologies law” competition for Polish law students. The competition is organized in cooperation with ELSA Poland.<br /> <br /> The main office of the Law Firm is located in Warsaw, and it operates branch offices in Poznań and Wrocław.<br /> <br /> =Acknowledgments=<br /> CC Poland would like to acknowledge and thank Prof. Elzbieta Traple and Piotr Wasilewski from the Institute of Civil Law at the Jagiellonian University for her involvement and support for the project.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Affiliate Team Roadmap= <br /> <br /> * Date submitted: December 2010<br /> * Timespan of this roadmap: January 2011-December 2011<br /> <br /> == Team information ==<br /> * Jurisdiction: Creative Commons Poland<br /> <br /> * Complete list of all members of the Affiliate Team, their roles, and field(s) of expertise:<br /> Justyna Hofmokl (Public Lead), Krzysztof Siewicz (Legal Lead), Alek Tarkowski (Public Lead), Klaudia Grabowska (part-time), Kamil Śliwowski (volunteer)<br /> <br /> * Date of earliest MOU in jurisdiction: 2005<br /> <br /> * Self-Identified Region(s): Europe <br /> <br /> ==Vision== <br /> <br /> * Why is Creative Commons important for the jurisdiction? <br /> Poland is a fast developing country with steadily growing economy that survived recent economic crisis without major turbulences. It is a fairly young population with a growing number of internet users. At the same time, the level of understanding of digital technologies and their potential advantages is relatively low. Similarly, public debate on intellectual property is dominated by a conservative discourse of “closure”. Creative Commons offers an important tool and set of ideas that allow us to present a different point of view in the public debate, and to offer models for content production and distribution that tap into the potential of digital technologies. We treat CC licenses as a legal tool that opens a wide range of social, cultural and economic changes.<br /> <br /> * What do you think makes a successful jurisdiction project?<br /> A successful jurisdiction project needs to achieve several things at once: 1) Build a solid local framework for using open licensing (localized licenses, knowledge base, support for users, etc.) 2); Build broad awareness of issues related to CC licensing; 3) Build a community of advanced users, early adopters and supporters of CC licensing; 4) Work with key stakeholders, through which CC licensing becomes popular and visible. At the same time, a successful project needs to become sustainable, in particular in financial terms.<br /> <br /> * How do you see the jurisdiction project contributing to the CC Affiliate Network?<br /> **CC Poland is one of the oldest European CC projects (we started in 2005). Throughout the years we have gained significant experience and knowledge on various aspects of license implementation and promotion. <br /> **Our leads are relatively active at the level of the international Affiliate Network. <br /> **In the last year, we have conducted a project dealing with opening scientific books (Otwórz książkę - Open the book), which in our opinion was both innovative and successful, and could serve as an example for similar projects abroad. It’s a good example of specific know-how that we have and could share<br /> **Having said this, we believe that in order to contribute better an institutional framework for international collaboration is needed as part of the Affiliate Network. Sharing with others is time- and resource-intensive and we lack resources to devote time and energy to outreach and collaboration abroad.<br /> <br /> ===Community===<br /> <br /> Creative Commons Poland is a fairly small project, with 3 persons actively involved on a daily basis. There is no real community involved in our activities on a day-to-day basis, but we are co-working with various organizations focused on reaching similar goals. CC Poland is a founding member of Polish Coalition for Open Education (an agreement of non-governmental organizations and institutions working in the field of education, science and culture). The Coalition promotes open educational resources and open licensing models. There is also a broad community of organizations, people and projects upon which we draw from time to time, for particular tasks or projects.<br /> <br /> In the year 2011 we plan to focus on three target groups / communities:<br /> *Supporters of openness in the scientific and educational sphere: this is a community we have been focusing upon in the last two years; it seems worthwhile to continue this co-operation <br /> *Government and public institutions: due to a large grant on open government we plan to work on advocacy of CC and open licensing among public institutions<br /> *Grant-givers: We focus upon this particular group due to strategic importance of convincing grant-givers to use CC licensing: a successful implementation of CC licensing in a grant program helps to spread the model fast. <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Priority Goals== <br /> <br /> <br /> '''1. Focus-area:''' Advocacy and cooperation with grant-giving institutions <br /> <br /> Our goal is to promote Creative Commons licensing among grant-giving institutions, as an important best practice for grant programs. Successful cooperation with both public and private grant-givers requires:<br /> <br /> - basic advocacy among a broad range of grant-giving institutions;<br /> <br /> - creating and in-depth toolkit for open licensing in grant programs, to be distributed among interested institutions;<br /> <br /> - providing insititutions (both grant-givers and grant-takers) with ongoing support on each level of the process (introducing open licensing to the grant scheme, training the grant-giver, conducting the grant competition with open licensing, providing support to grant-takers);<br /> <br /> Currently, with our help, open licensing has been introduced by the Orange Fundation (charitable arm of the Orange telecom) and the development aid program of the Polish Ministry of External Affairs. In 2011, we plan to work with a range of other organizations, among them the Trust for Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe.<br /> <br /> Possibly, as part of this focus area we will work on a broader project that introduces open models (among the CC licensing) into a regional public cultural institution, the Małopolska voivodeship cultural institute. We might also work on the implementation of CC-licensing as part of the Polish government’s content licensing scheme.<br /> <br /> * Why is it important?<br /> Working with grant-givers and public institutions is very important for wider promotion of CC licenses as well as for changing the perceived counter-culture image of, CC licenses. CC is frequently perceived in Poland as a tool used by copyright fighters not suitable for wider public. Establishing CC licenses as a standard licensing scheme for grant-givers will have a huge impact on the future uptake of licenses in Poland. <br /> <br /> * Which communities will benefit? <br /> Promoting CC licenses among grant-givers will be beneficial for different groups such us: institutions themselves, ngo’s (frequent beneficiaries of the grants), public. <br /> <br /> * Output: <br /> Toolkit for grant-giving institutions (September 2011).<br /> <br /> '''2. Focus-area:''' Further development and legal analysis of CC licenses in Poland<br /> <br /> In the year 2011 we would like to:<br /> - analyze and then implement into the Polish legal systems (pending upon their applicability) the CC0 and Public Domain Mark tools;<br /> <br /> - prepare a publication with a detailed legal analysis of the functioning of CC licenses in the Polish legal system, focusing on clarifying any potential or perceived conflicts or problems.<br /> <br /> * Why is it important? <br /> CC0 and Public Domain Mark are for us important, as a lot of discussion among advocates of openness in Poland focuses not only on open licensing, but also upon the Public Domain - we would like to provide tools that can be useful in this context.<br /> <br /> A detailed legal analysis will build upon our ongoing work in this area conducted in the previous years: a conference on legal aspects of free culture organized in 2008, a research paper on the implementation of CC0 into Polish law prepared in 2010, and a range of documents on issues and challenges related to porting the 3.0 licenses (ending with a paper by Krzysztof Siewicz published in 2010 in a volume on copyright law). Such an analysis is necessary to provide a solid reference that clarifies issues related to the use of CC licenses in Poland, seen from a legal perspective.<br /> <br /> * Which communities will benefit?<br /> This legal work will be beneficial to any person or institution interested in CC licensing or using CC licenses.<br /> <br /> * Output: <br /> Analysis and potential implementation of CC0 and Public Domain Mark tools, adapted to the Polish legal system (June 2011). Detailed legal analysis of the functioning of CC licenses in the Polish legal system (September 2011).<br /> <br /> '''3. Focus-area:''' Analysis and research of CC license use in Poland<br /> <br /> As part of this focus area we plan to:<br /> - conduct an evaluation of the use of open licensing in a cultural education grant program of the Orange Foundation - in order to obtain knowledge about the adoption of CC licensing by institutions (in this case, cultural NGOs and public institutions)<br /> <br /> - conduct a survey of CC-licensed content made available online, based on a web crawl of the Polish internet<br /> <br /> - create case studies of CC license use (and more broadly open licensing) in Poland, by different types of creators and institutions, and for different types of content<br /> <br /> * Why is it important? <br /> This research will provide us with a better understanding of the state of adoption of CC licenses in Poland. Furthermore, it will provide useful knowledge for other actors using CC licenses.<br /> * Which communities will benefit?<br /> This research work will be beneficial to any person or institution interested in CC licensing or using CC licenses.<br /> * Output: Evaluation of open licensing in the Orange Foundation grant program (March 2011). Results of the crawler study (June 2011). Case study project (September 2011).<br /> <br /> Other planned activities:<br /> * upgrade of the CC Poland webpage<br /> * update of the FAQ section on our webpage<br /> * increased online communication through the webpage and social media<br /> * regular community meetings as part of the NetWtorek meetings - monthly <br /> * gatherings of IT and NGO communities interested, among other things, in open models<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Metrics==<br /> <br /> * How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 1? <br /> Number of grant-giving institutions using CC licensing. Value of grant programs. Number of grant-takers. Amount and type of content made openly available.<br /> * How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 2? <br /> Delivery of planned outputs. Reaction to prepared documents in the legal community.<br /> * How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 3? <br /> Delivery of planned outputs. Responses to presented research results by key stakeholders, partners, media and public opinion.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Resources Required==<br /> <br /> In order to further grow, we need to obtain dedicated funding for CC activities in Poland. Currently, our leads are only partially funded to conduct CC activities, and we lack project funding. Some of the funding we have is due to the fact that we include CC licensing as part of a different project. Our goal for this year is to obtain such funding, which in particular will allow us to hire additional employees. <br /> We do not require any technological or material resources, we have a sufficient technological base and office space at the Centrum Cyfrowe Projekt: Polska, our CC affiliate institution.<br /> <br /> ==Sustainability and Scalability==<br /> <br /> * How will you ensure your goals will be completed if unforeseen circumstances interrupt the project, such as changes in the leadership of the project or outputs taking longer to complete than anticipated?<br /> Due to the current financing model, and our reliance on third-parties or volunteers in some areas, it is difficult for us to plan against or avoid delays. CC Poland is also currently largely dependent on the individual work of current leads and it is difficult to plan for the event of a potential change in leadership. <br /> <br /> * How will you communicate the project's on-going progress and setbacks within the jurisdiction and the CC Affiliate Network? (e.g. email list updates, meetings, press releases) <br /> We will publish updates on email lists and press releases. We would enjoy having the opportunity to discuss ongoing work through occassional conference calls.<br /> <br /> * How will you document the project so that others may replicate or learn from your efforts?<br /> We are working on employing in our work more intensively a wiki as a documentation mechanism. Also, through the case studies project we want to provide know-how on implementing CC-licensing in Poland.<br /> <br /> ===Regional===<br /> <br /> We're part of the CC-Europe network. In the future we would like to increase collaboration in the scope of Central and Eastern Europe, which we see as a region with a particular and share cultural identity and history. <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Translation==<br /> <br /> * In what language(s) will you promote CC in the jurisdiction and why? Polish<br /> ** In which of these languages are licenses already available? CC0? Licenses are available in Polish, CC0 has not been localized.<br /> ** Into which of the remaining languages do you intend to translate the licenses? CC0? We do not plan further translations. We involve the local language community on the occasional basis, when translation work is required. Last time we’ve obtained community help when we localized the 3.0 version.</div>

It is the leading scientific supercomputing centre in Poland, with experience in provision of large scale Internet information and data services, as well as in Internet content replication techniques.<br /> <br /> ICM is also a research centre undertaking scientific challenges that cross interfaces separating traditional disciplines in multi-disciplinary effort, with main roots of complex systems and processes in life sciences, physics and chemistry, atmospheric and environmental sciences and decision sciences.<br /> <br /> ICM facilitates conducting advanced scientific computational projects by Polish and international research groups and serves as an an educational centre in computational science and modeling.<br /> <br /> Since 1995 ICM is running a multi-terabyte national virtual library programme (with over 10,000 full text articles being downloaded daily) serving hundreds of scientific and research institutions in Poland.<br /> Furthermore, through the Digital Internet Repository of Science (DIR) project, ICM is creating a management system and public archive for digital scientific materials. Finally, ICM is experienced in large scale text acquisition and processing and is one of the partners in European Digital Repository Infrastructure program (project “DRIVER”). With the Creative Commons Poland project, ICM UW has extended its interest in digital repositories into the field of open access to scientific materials.<br /> <br /> <br /> =More About the Law Firm Grynhoff Woźny Maliński=<br /> <br /> <br /> [http://www.gwmlegal.pl/ Grynhoff Woźny Maliński] is one of the biggest Polish law firms, established in 1996. It is a team of 80 lawyers, most of whom are licensed attorneys, legal advisors, and tax advisors.<br /> <br /> Grynhoff Woźny Maliński specializes in servicing entrepreneurs active in regulated sectors of the economy, in particular telecommunications, media, energy and TSL (transport-shipping-logistics)<br /> <br /> In the area of so-called “intellectual property”, the lawyers of Grynhoff, Woźny i Wspólnicy have also been active in various bigger initiatives, apart from servicing individual clients. They currently participate in projects such as [http://przyjazneprawoautorskie.pl/ “Friendly Copyrights”] and [http://wolnepodreczniki.pl/ “Free Textbooks”].<br /> <br /> In 2007 the Law Firm started founding “ITele(c)t”, an “intellectual property and new technologies law” competition for Polish law students. The competition is organized in cooperation with ELSA Poland.<br /> <br /> The main office of the Law Firm is located in Warsaw, and it operates branch offices in Poznań and Wrocław.<br /> <br /> =Acknowledgments=<br /> CC Poland would like to acknowledge and thank Prof. Elzbieta Traple and Piotr Wasilewski from the Institute of Civil Law at the Jagiellonian University for her involvement and support for the project.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> =Affiliate Team Roadmap= <br /> <br /> * Date submitted: December 2010<br /> * Timespan of this roadmap: January 2011-December 2011<br /> <br /> == Team information ==<br /> * Jurisdiction: Creative Commons Poland<br /> <br /> * Complete list of all members of the Affiliate Team, their roles, and field(s) of expertise:<br /> Justyna Hofmokl (Public Lead), Krzysztof Siewicz (Legal Lead), Alek Tarkowski (Public Lead), Klaudia Grabowska (part-time), Kamil Śliwowski (volunteer)<br /> <br /> * Date of earliest MOU in jurisdiction: 2005<br /> <br /> * Self-Identified Region(s): Europe <br /> <br /> ==Vision== <br /> <br /> * Why is Creative Commons important for the jurisdiction? <br /> Poland is a fast developing country with steadily growing economy that survived recent economic crisis without major turbulences. It is a fairly young population with a growing number of internet users. At the same time, the level of understanding of digital technologies and their potential advantages is relatively low. Similarly, public debate on intellectual property is dominated by a conservative discourse of “closure”. Creative Commons offers an important tool and set of ideas that allow us to present a different point of view in the public debate, and to offer models for content production and distribution that tap into the potential of digital technologies. We treat CC licenses as a legal tool that opens a wide range of social, cultural and economic changes.<br /> <br /> * What do you think makes a successful jurisdiction project?<br /> A successful jurisdiction project needs to achieve several things at once: 1) Build a solid local framework for using open licensing (localized licenses, knowledge base, support for users, etc.) 2); Build broad awareness of issues related to CC licensing; 3) Build a community of advanced users, early adopters and supporters of CC licensing; 4) Work with key stakeholders, through which CC licensing becomes popular and visible. At the same time, a successful project needs to become sustainable, in particular in financial terms.<br /> <br /> * How do you see the jurisdiction project contributing to the CC Affiliate Network?<br /> **CC Poland is one of the oldest European CC projects (we started in 2005). Throughout the years we have gained significant experience and knowledge on various aspects of license implementation and promotion. <br /> **Our leads are relatively active at the level of the international Affiliate Network. <br /> **In the last year, we have conducted a project dealing with opening scientific books (Otwórz książkę - Open the book), which in our opinion was both innovative and successful, and could serve as an example for similar projects abroad. It’s a good example of specific know-how that we have and could share<br /> **Having said this, we believe that in order to contribute better an institutional framework for international collaboration is needed as part of the Affiliate Network. Sharing with others is time- and resource-intensive and we lack resources to devote time and energy to outreach and collaboration abroad.<br /> <br /> ===Community===<br /> <br /> Creative Commons Poland is a fairly small project, with 3 persons actively involved on a daily basis. There is no real community involved in our activities on a day-to-day basis, but we are co-working with various organizations focused on reaching similar goals. CC Poland is a founding member of Polish Coalition for Open Education (an agreement of non-governmental organizations and institutions working in the field of education, science and culture). The Coalition promotes open educational resources and open licensing models. There is also a broad community of organizations, people and projects upon which we draw from time to time, for particular tasks or projects.<br /> <br /> In the year 2011 we plan to focus on three target groups / communities:<br /> *Supporters of openness in the scientific and educational sphere: this is a community we have been focusing upon in the last two years; it seems worthwhile to continue this co-operation <br /> *Government and public institutions: due to a large grant on open government we plan to work on advocacy of CC and open licensing among public institutions<br /> *Grant-givers: We focus upon this particular group due to strategic importance of convincing grant-givers to use CC licensing: a successful implementation of CC licensing in a grant program helps to spread the model fast. <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Priority Goals== <br /> <br /> <br /> '''1. Focus-area:''' Advocacy and cooperation with grant-giving institutions <br /> <br /> Our goal is to promote Creative Commons licensing among grant-giving institutions, as an important best practice for grant programs. Successful cooperation with both public and private grant-givers requires:<br /> <br /> - basic advocacy among a broad range of grant-giving institutions;<br /> <br /> - creating and in-depth toolkit for open licensing in grant programs, to be distributed among interested institutions;<br /> <br /> - providing insititutions (both grant-givers and grant-takers) with ongoing support on each level of the process (introducing open licensing to the grant scheme, training the grant-giver, conducting the grant competition with open licensing, providing support to grant-takers);<br /> <br /> Currently, with our help, open licensing has been introduced by the Orange Fundation (charitable arm of the Orange telecom) and the development aid program of the Polish Ministry of External Affairs. In 2011, we plan to work with a range of other organizations, among them the Trust for Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe.<br /> <br /> Possibly, as part of this focus area we will work on a broader project that introduces open models (among the CC licensing) into a regional public cultural institution, the Małopolska voivodeship cultural institute. We might also work on the implementation of CC-licensing as part of the Polish government’s content licensing scheme.<br /> <br /> * Why is it important?<br /> Working with grant-givers and public institutions is very important for wider promotion of CC licenses as well as for changing the perceived counter-culture image of, CC licenses. CC is frequently perceived in Poland as a tool used by copyright fighters not suitable for wider public. Establishing CC licenses as a standard licensing scheme for grant-givers will have a huge impact on the future uptake of licenses in Poland. <br /> <br /> * Which communities will benefit? <br /> Promoting CC licenses among grant-givers will be beneficial for different groups such us: institutions themselves, ngo’s (frequent beneficiaries of the grants), public. <br /> <br /> * Output: <br /> Toolkit for grant-giving institutions (September 2011).<br /> <br /> '''2. Focus-area:''' Further development and legal analysis of CC licenses in Poland<br /> <br /> In the year 2011 we would like to:<br /> - analyze and then implement into the Polish legal systems (pending upon their applicability) the CC0 and Public Domain Mark tools;<br /> <br /> - prepare a publication with a detailed legal analysis of the functioning of CC licenses in the Polish legal system, focusing on clarifying any potential or perceived conflicts or problems.<br /> <br /> * Why is it important? <br /> CC0 and Public Domain Mark are for us important, as a lot of discussion among advocates of openness in Poland focuses not only on open licensing, but also upon the Public Domain - we would like to provide tools that can be useful in this context.<br /> <br /> A detailed legal analysis will build upon our ongoing work in this area conducted in the previous years: a conference on legal aspects of free culture organized in 2008, a research paper on the implementation of CC0 into Polish law prepared in 2010, and a range of documents on issues and challenges related to porting the 3.0 licenses (ending with a paper by Krzysztof Siewicz published in 2010 in a volume on copyright law). Such an analysis is necessary to provide a solid reference that clarifies issues related to the use of CC licenses in Poland, seen from a legal perspective.<br /> <br /> * Which communities will benefit?<br /> This legal work will be beneficial to any person or institution interested in CC licensing or using CC licenses.<br /> <br /> * Output: <br /> Analysis and potential implementation of CC0 and Public Domain Mark tools, adapted to the Polish legal system (June 2011). Detailed legal analysis of the functioning of CC licenses in the Polish legal system (September 2011).<br /> <br /> '''3. Focus-area:''' Analysis and research of CC license use in Poland<br /> <br /> As part of this focus area we plan to:<br /> - conduct an evaluation of the use of open licensing in a cultural education grant program of the Orange Foundation - in order to obtain knowledge about the adoption of CC licensing by institutions (in this case, cultural NGOs and public institutions)<br /> <br /> - conduct a survey of CC-licensed content made available online, based on a web crawl of the Polish internet<br /> <br /> - create case studies of CC license use (and more broadly open licensing) in Poland, by different types of creators and institutions, and for different types of content<br /> <br /> * Why is it important? <br /> This research will provide us with a better understanding of the state of adoption of CC licenses in Poland. Furthermore, it will provide useful knowledge for other actors using CC licenses.<br /> * Which communities will benefit?<br /> This research work will be beneficial to any person or institution interested in CC licensing or using CC licenses.<br /> * Output: Evaluation of open licensing in the Orange Foundation grant program (March 2011). Results of the crawler study (June 2011). Case study project (September 2011).<br /> <br /> Other planned activities:<br /> * upgrade of the CC Poland webpage<br /> * update of the FAQ section on our webpage<br /> * increased online communication through the webpage and social media<br /> * regular community meetings as part of the NetWtorek meetings - monthly <br /> * gatherings of IT and NGO communities interested, among other things, in open models<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Metrics==<br /> <br /> * How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 1? <br /> Number of grant-giving institutions using CC licensing. Value of grant programs. Number of grant-takers. Amount and type of content made openly available.<br /> * How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 2? <br /> Delivery of planned outputs. Reaction to prepared documents in the legal community.<br /> * How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 3? <br /> Delivery of planned outputs. Responses to presented research results by key stakeholders, partners, media and public opinion.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Resources Required==<br /> <br /> In order to further grow, we need to obtain dedicated funding for CC activities in Poland. Currently, our leads are only partially funded to conduct CC activities, and we lack project funding. Some of the funding we have is due to the fact that we include CC licensing as part of a different project. Our goal for this year is to obtain such funding, which in particular will allow us to hire additional employees. <br /> We do not require any technological or material resources, we have a sufficient technological base and office space at the Centrum Cyfrowe Projekt: Polska, our CC affiliate institution.<br /> <br /> ==Sustainability and Scalability==<br /> <br /> * How will you ensure your goals will be completed if unforeseen circumstances interrupt the project, such as changes in the leadership of the project or outputs taking longer to complete than anticipated?<br /> Due to the current financing model, and our reliance on third-parties or volunteers in some areas, it is difficult for us to plan against or avoid delays. CC Poland is also currently largely dependent on the individual work of current leads and it is difficult to plan for the event of a potential change in leadership. <br /> <br /> * How will you communicate the project's on-going progress and setbacks within the jurisdiction and the CC Affiliate Network? (e.g. email list updates, meetings, press releases) <br /> We will publish updates on email lists and press releases. We would enjoy having the opportunity to discuss ongoing work through occassional conference calls.<br /> <br /> * How will you document the project so that others may replicate or learn from your efforts?<br /> We are working on employing in our work more intensively a wiki as a documentation mechanism. Also, through the case studies project we want to provide know-how on implementing CC-licensing in Poland.<br /> <br /> ===Regional===<br /> <br /> We're part of the CC-Europe network. In the future we would like to increase collaboration in the scope of Central and Eastern Europe, which we see as a region with a particular and share cultural identity and history. <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Translation==<br /> <br /> * In what language(s) will you promote CC in the jurisdiction and why? Polish<br /> ** In which of these languages are licenses already available? CC0? Licenses are available in Polish, CC0 has not been localized.<br /> ** Into which of the remaining languages do you intend to translate the licenses? CC0? We do not plan further translations. We involve the local language community on the occasional basis, when translation work is required. Last time we’ve obtained community help when we localized the 3.0 version.</div>
