'''Self-Identified Region(s)''', i.e. Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, North America, Arab world:<br />
Southern Africa <br />
Why do you identify yourself as being part of the listed region(s)? <br />
That's where we are!<br />
<br />
==Vision==<br />
'''Why is Creative Commons important for the jurisdiction?'''<br />
<br />
Emerging creatives need free and shareable resources to build on. Exposure of Southern African creativity to other markets through open licensing. South African political leaders are suspicious of internet freedom, so this needs to be protected, and the cause for internet freedoms needs to be embedded.<br />
<br />
'''What do you think makes a successful jurisdiction project?'''<br />
<br />
Broad awareness and use of CC among individuals, businesses, private and public institutions. Public dialogue around internet freedoms, including CC. Partnership with related organisations and non-profits Use of CC in OER in universities and schools. Self-sustaining, active community of volunteers and supporters.<br />
<br />
'''How do you see the jurisdiction project contributing to the CC Affiliate Network?'''<br />
<br />
Localized licenses in an important emerging economy Add an African perspective to CC related discussions. To help kick-start CC projects in other African countries. Introducing more African works into the CC pool. <br />
<br />
==Community==<br />
'''Describe the communities that are currently active in the project.''' <br />
<br />
Universities, software programmers, media geeks, musicians, authors, publishers, marketers<br />
<br />
'''How will you continue to engage with these communities?'''<br />
<br />
We will increase our engagement through: Conference talks, website, Twitter, Legal advice, [http://www.tittbit.in email].<br />
<br />
'''Describe the communities (existing or new) that you plan to focus on during the timeframe covered by this roadmap?'''<br />
<br />
Universities + OER community, Artists<br />
<br />
'''How do you plan to engage with these communities?'''<br />
<br />
Twitter, CC SA website, Other Websites and social networks, Conference talks, Workshops.<br />
<br />
==Priority Goals==<br />
'''What are the three most important focus areas on which the Affiliate Team will work during this time period? Please consider community building and adoption goals among your priorities.'''<br />
<br />
1. Focus-area: '''License 3.0'''<br />
Why is it important?<br />
License contains important improvements on v.2.5<br />
<br />
Which communities will benefit?<br />
All users of CC <br />
<br />
2. Focus-area: '''Website Update'''<br />
This includes things like: a collection of case-studies or organisations using CC in South Africa (wiki); Monthly news (at the minimum); Acknowledge all CC SA volunteers and organizational supporters; Put more information about Creative Commons Licensing (including videos) - linking; Links and feeds to and from our other social media profiles<br />
<br />
Why is it important?<br />
This is most people's first stop in getting more information about Creative Commons South Africa. It's the virtual home of the community.<br />
<br />
Which communities will benefit ?<br />
All CC South Africa stakeholders. <br />
<br />
3. Focus-area: '''Open Education Resources Localized Statement'''<br />
<br />
Why is it important?<br />
Many university players have not yet understood that CC is an important part in making OER work. It's a hot topic, which is an opportunity to align ourselves with a relevant and important cause.<br />
<br />
Which communities will benefit?<br />
Universities and Schools.<br />
<br />
4. '''Getting organizational support''', where other companies will offer to provide resources for us, such as printing & Public Relations services. <br />
A list of companies who are prepared to volunteer their services in kind so we know who to call on if necessary.<br />
<br />
5. Join the discussions around the new "IPR from Publicly Financed Research and Development Act" (BAYH - DOLE - like legislation) in South Africa through the website, conference talks, Debates, Petitions & Twitter.<br />
<br />
==Project Outputs==<br />
'''Detail tangible project outputs (e.g., events, papers, blog posts, video/films, etc.) for each focus area including an expected date of completion. See also Timeline.'''<br />
The outputs we plan to complete are as follows:<br />
<br />
# Focus-area: 3.0 licences for South Africa<br />
## Project Output: 3.0 licences for South Africa<br />
## Expected start date: already started - Expected date of completion: June 2011<br />

* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 3? N/A<br />
<br />
==Resources Required==<br />
===People===<br />
'''What human resources or expertise must the team seek out or add to your existing resources, if any, in order to achieve your priority goals?'''<br />
<br />
In 2010, we identified the need to add a "technical lead" to the team and Paul Scott has joined the team to fill this gap (no MoU signed yet). The public lead position is currently being transition to a new lead with the current lead remaining actively involved still. The legal lead has a loose network of supporters to assist with the licence update.<br />
<br />
'''How will you involve these people?'''<br />
They are already involved, we have monthly meetings and supporters will be acknowledged on the website.<br />
<br />
===Technology===<br />
<br />
'''What technology resources must the team seek out or add to your existing resources, if any, in order to achieve your priority goals?'''<br />
<br />
'''How will you obtain these technology resources?'''<br />
<br />
===Materials===<br />
'''What material resources must the team seek out or add to your existing resources, if any, in order to achieve your priority goals?'''<br />
It would be fantastic if CC international could supply us with merchandise and other marketing materials free of charge!!!<br />
'''How will you obtain these material resources?'''<br />
Just send it by post ;-)<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
'''What other resources must the team seek out or add to all the other resources, if any, in order to achieve your priority goals?'''<br />
'''How will you obtain these other resources?'''<br />
<br />
==Sustainability and Scalability==<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 />
<br />
Regular meetings and open discussions among team members; through community discourse and accountability<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 />
emails, website, social media platforms, meetings<br />
<br />
'''How will you document the project so that others may replicate or learn from your efforts?'''<br />
Creative Commons wiki and our website (and through all of the above communication tools for that matter)<br />
<br />
==Collaboration==<br />
Please have a look at other roadmaps.<br />
'''How could the jurisdiction's plans help drive or support other jurisdictions' activities?'''<br />
<br />
CC South Africa considers itself a pioneer project for CC licensing in Africa and therefore strives to support interested individuals and organisations on the African continent to also initiate CC licensing projects. Such support will include participation in/ administration of CC Africa mailing list, active offering of advice in relation to porting CC licences. The the extent possible, f2f meetings and workshops.<br />
<br />
'''What are other jurisdictions doing that might support or contribute to the project?'''<br />
<br />
Some countries, such as the Australian CC project's site, have more advanced website offerings from which we can learn. CC Brazil appears to have succeeded in building strong cultural relevance that we would like to a emulate.<br />
<br />
'''Would you be interested in mentoring new jurisdiction teams?'''<br />
Yes, see above.<br />
<br />
'''Conversely, would you be interested in having a mentor from a more experienced jurisdiction team?'''<br />
Yes, see above.<br />
<br />
==Regional==<br />
'''Suggest three possible projects on which you can collaborate with other teams on a regional level. If you are not yet involved with the regional network, please contact the regional spokesperson (if any) or notify CC HQ to put you in touch with others.'''<br />
<br />
Adoption of CC licences in other African (exchanging experiences etc and guidelines of how to approach this issue).<br />
<br />
Since there are no other teams yet in our region (Southern Africa), no opportunity for collaboration exists. However, we will look at collaboration opportunities with country project in other African countries, such as Egypt, Kenya and Nigeria, as they arise.<br />
<br />
'''How do you plan to contribute to these projects?'''<br />
Sharing of information and on an ad hoc basis.<br />
<br />
==Translation==<br />
'''In what language(s) will you promote CC in the jurisdiction and why?'''<br />
At this point in time, it is only feasible to promote CC licences in English. Yet, we aim at translating the Commons Deed into several of our official language if volunteers for this can be found. At least 2 such translations of the Commons Deed already exist.<br />
<br />
'''In which of these languages are licenses already available? CC0?'''<br />
English. <br />
We haven't dealt with the CC0 "licence" yet.<br />
<br />
'''Into which of the remaining languages do you intend to translate the licenses? CC0?'''<br />
see above.<br />
<br />
'''How will you involve the local language(s) community?'''<br />
Once we have updated our licences to v3.0, we will get in touch with non-profit translation organisations such as www.translate.org.za and ask for their support on this matter. In addition, we will on our website encourage volunteers to help out.<br />

'''Self-Identified Region(s)''', i.e. Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, North America, Arab world:<br />
Southern Africa <br />
Why do you identify yourself as being part of the listed region(s)? <br />
That's where we are!<br />
<br />
==Vision==<br />
'''Why is Creative Commons important for the jurisdiction?'''<br />
<br />
Emerging creatives need free and shareable resources to build on. Exposure of Southern African creativity to other markets through open licensing. South African political leaders are suspicious of internet freedom, so this needs to be protected, and the cause for internet freedoms needs to be embedded.<br />
<br />
'''What do you think makes a successful jurisdiction project?'''<br />
<br />
Broad awareness and use of CC among individuals, businesses, private and public institutions. Public dialogue around internet freedoms, including CC. Partnership with related organisations and non-profits Use of CC in OER in universities and schools. Self-sustaining, active community of volunteers and supporters.<br />
<br />
'''How do you see the jurisdiction project contributing to the CC Affiliate Network?'''<br />
<br />
Localized licenses in an important emerging economy Add an African perspective to CC related discussions. To help kick-start CC projects in other African countries. Introducing more African works into the CC pool. <br />
<br />
==Community==<br />
'''Describe the communities that are currently active in the project.''' <br />
<br />
Universities, software programmers, media geeks, musicians, authors, publishers, marketers<br />
<br />
'''How will you continue to engage with these communities?'''<br />
<br />
We will increase our engagement through: Conference talks, website, Twitter, Legal advice, [http://www.tittbit.in email].<br />
<br />
'''Describe the communities (existing or new) that you plan to focus on during the timeframe covered by this roadmap?'''<br />
<br />
Universities + OER community, Artists<br />
<br />
'''How do you plan to engage with these communities?'''<br />
<br />
Twitter, CC SA website, Other Websites and social networks, Conference talks, Workshops.<br />
<br />
==Priority Goals==<br />
'''What are the three most important focus areas on which the Affiliate Team will work during this time period? Please consider community building and adoption goals among your priorities.'''<br />
<br />
1. Focus-area: '''License 3.0'''<br />
Why is it important?<br />
License contains important improvements on v.2.5<br />
<br />
Which communities will benefit?<br />
All users of CC <br />
<br />
2. Focus-area: '''Website Update'''<br />
This includes things like: a collection of case-studies or organisations using CC in South Africa (wiki); Monthly news (at the minimum); Acknowledge all CC SA volunteers and organizational supporters; Put more information about Creative Commons Licensing (including videos) - linking; Links and feeds to and from our other social media profiles<br />
<br />
Why is it important?<br />
This is most people's first stop in getting more information about Creative Commons South Africa. It's the virtual home of the community.<br />
<br />
Which communities will benefit ?<br />
All CC South Africa stakeholders. <br />
<br />
3. Focus-area: '''Open Education Resources Localized Statement'''<br />
<br />
Why is it important?<br />
Many university players have not yet understood that CC is an important part in making OER work. It's a hot topic, which is an opportunity to align ourselves with a relevant and important cause.<br />
<br />
Which communities will benefit?<br />
Universities and Schools.<br />
<br />
4. '''Getting organizational support''', where other companies will offer to provide resources for us, such as printing & Public Relations services. <br />
A list of companies who are prepared to volunteer their services in kind so we know who to call on if necessary.<br />
<br />
5. Join the discussions around the new "IPR from Publicly Financed Research and Development Act" (BAYH - DOLE - like legislation) in South Africa through the website, conference talks, Debates, Petitions & Twitter.<br />
<br />
==Project Outputs==<br />
'''Detail tangible project outputs (e.g., events, papers, blog posts, video/films, etc.) for each focus area including an expected date of completion. See also Timeline.'''<br />
The outputs we plan to complete are as follows:<br />
<br />
# Focus-area: 3.0 licences for South Africa<br />
## Project Output: 3.0 licences for South Africa<br />
## Expected start date: already started - Expected date of completion: June 2011<br />
## Team Member(s) Responsible: Tobias Schonwetter<br />
## How will this output help achieve your goals? Having the most up to date licences is crucial for project success and also shows the commitment of the team.<br />
<br />
# Focus-area<br />
## Project Output: Website update<br />
## Expected start date: 26 January 2011 - Expected date of completion: 31 March 2011 and ongoing thereafter<br />

## Expected start date: already started - Expected date of completion: 28 February 2011<br />
## Team Member(s) Responsible: Dave Duarte<br />

## How will this output help achieve your goals? Awareness of CC and particularly to help answer the localised jurisdiction of CC. Followers to CC South Africa’s tweetstream develops the community and exposes them to news and resources from the team. <br />
<br />
==Metrics==<br />
Please consider using trackable statistics (such as web traffic or number of license adoptions) when applicable, but only if meaningful.<br />
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 1? N/A<br />
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 2? N/A<br />
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 3? N/A<br />
<br />
==Resources Required==<br />
===People===<br />
'''What human resources or expertise must the team seek out or add to your existing resources, if any, in order to achieve your priority goals?'''<br />
<br />
In 2010, we identified the need to add a "technical lead" to the team and Paul Scott has joined the team to fill this gap (no MoU signed yet). The public lead position is currently being transition to a new lead with the current lead remaining actively involved still. The legal lead has a loose network of supporters to assist with the licence update.<br />
<br />
'''How will you involve these people?'''<br />
They are already involved, we have monthly meetings and supporters will be acknowledged on the website.<br />
<br />
===Technology===<br />
<br />
'''What technology resources must the team seek out or add to your existing resources, if any, in order to achieve your priority goals?'''<br />
<br />
'''How will you obtain these technology resources?'''<br />
<br />
===Materials===<br />
'''What material resources must the team seek out or add to your existing resources, if any, in order to achieve your priority goals?'''<br />
It would be fantastic if CC international could supply us with merchandise and other marketing materials free of charge!!!<br />
'''How will you obtain these material resources?'''<br />
Just send it by post ;-)<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
'''What other resources must the team seek out or add to all the other resources, if any, in order to achieve your priority goals?'''<br />
'''How will you obtain these other resources?'''<br />
<br />
==Sustainability and Scalability==<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 />
<br />
Regular meetings and open discussions among team members; through community discourse and accountability<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 />
emails, website, social media platforms, meetings<br />
<br />
'''How will you document the project so that others may replicate or learn from your efforts?'''<br />
Creative Commons wiki and our website (and through all of the above communication tools for that matter)<br />
<br />
==Collaboration==<br />
Please have a look at other roadmaps.<br />
'''How could the jurisdiction's plans help drive or support other jurisdictions' activities?'''<br />
<br />
CC South Africa considers itself a pioneer project for CC licensing in Africa and therefore strives to support interested individuals and organisations on the African continent to also initiate CC licensing projects. Such support will include participation in/ administration of CC Africa mailing list, active offering of advice in relation to porting CC licences. The the extent possible, f2f meetings and workshops.<br />
<br />
'''What are other jurisdictions doing that might support or contribute to the project?'''<br />
<br />
Some countries, such as the Australian CC project's site, have more advanced website offerings from which we can learn. CC Brazil appears to have succeeded in building strong cultural relevance that we would like to a emulate.<br />
<br />
'''Would you be interested in mentoring new jurisdiction teams?'''<br />
Yes, see above.<br />
<br />
'''Conversely, would you be interested in having a mentor from a more experienced jurisdiction team?'''<br />
Yes, see above.<br />
<br />
==Regional==<br />
'''Suggest three possible projects on which you can collaborate with other teams on a regional level. If you are not yet involved with the regional network, please contact the regional spokesperson (if any) or notify CC HQ to put you in touch with others.'''<br />
<br />
Adoption of CC licences in other African (exchanging experiences etc and guidelines of how to approach this issue).<br />
<br />
Since there are no other teams yet in our region (Southern Africa), no opportunity for collaboration exists. However, we will look at collaboration opportunities with country project in other African countries, such as Egypt, Kenya and Nigeria, as they arise.<br />
<br />
'''How do you plan to contribute to these projects?'''<br />
Sharing of information and on an ad hoc basis.<br />
<br />
==Translation==<br />
'''In what language(s) will you promote CC in the jurisdiction and why?'''<br />
At this point in time, it is only feasible to promote CC licences in English. Yet, we aim at translating the Commons Deed into several of our official language if volunteers for this can be found. At least 2 such translations of the Commons Deed already exist.<br />
<br />
'''In which of these languages are licenses already available? CC0?'''<br />
English. <br />
We haven't dealt with the CC0 "licence" yet.<br />
<br />
'''Into which of the remaining languages do you intend to translate the licenses? CC0?'''<br />
see above.<br />
<br />
'''How will you involve the local language(s) community?'''<br />
Once we have updated our licences to v3.0, we will get in touch with non-profit translation organisations such as www.translate.org.za and ask for their support on this matter. In addition, we will on our website encourage volunteers to help out.<br />

Yes, see above.<br />
<br />
'''Conversely, would you be interested in having a mentor from a more experienced jurisdiction team?'''<br />
Yes, see above.<br />
<br />
==Regional==<br />
'''Suggest three possible projects on which you can collaborate with other teams on a regional level. If you are not yet involved with the regional network, please contact the regional spokesperson (if any) or notify CC HQ to put you in touch with others.'''<br />
<br />
Adoption of CC licences in other African (exchanging experiences etc and guidelines of how to approach this issue).<br />
<br />
Since there are no other teams yet in our region (Southern Africa), no opportunity for collaboration exists. However, we will look at collaboration opportunities with country project in other African countries, such as Egypt, Kenya and Nigeria, as they arise.<br />
<br />
'''How do you plan to contribute to these projects?'''<br />
Sharing of information and on an ad hoc basis.<br />
<br />
==Translation==<br />
'''In what language(s) will you promote CC in the jurisdiction and why?'''<br />
At this point in time, it is only feasible to promote CC licences in English. Yet, we aim at translating the Commons Deed into several of our official language if volunteers for this can be found. At least 2 such translations of the Commons Deed already exist.<br />
<br />
'''In which of these languages are licenses already available? CC0?'''<br />
English. <br />
We haven't dealt with the CC0 "licence" yet.<br />
<br />
'''Into which of the remaining languages do you intend to translate the licenses? CC0?'''<br />
see above.<br />
<br />
'''How will you involve the local language(s) community?'''<br />
Once we have updated our licences to v3.0, we will get in touch with non-profit translation organisations such as www.translate.org.za and ask for their support on this matter. In addition, we will on our website encourage volunteers to help out.<br />

<br />
'''Self-Identified Region(s)''', i.e. Europe, Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, North America, Arab world:<br />
Southern Africa <br />
Why do you identify yourself as being part of the listed region(s)? <br />
That's where we are!<br />
<br />
==Vision==<br />
'''Why is Creative Commons important for the jurisdiction?'''<br />
<br />
Emerging creatives need free and shareable resources to build on. Exposure of Southern African creativity to other markets through open licensing. South African political leaders are suspicious of internet freedom, so this needs to be protected, and the cause for internet freedoms needs to be embedded.<br />
<br />
'''What do you think makes a successful jurisdiction project?'''<br />
<br />
Broad awareness and use of CC among individuals, businesses, private and public institutions. Public dialogue around internet freedoms, including CC. Partnership with related organisations and non-profits Use of CC in OER in universities and schools. Self-sustaining, active community of volunteers and supporters.<br />
<br />
'''How do you see the jurisdiction project contributing to the CC Affiliate Network?'''<br />
<br />
Localized licenses in an important emerging economy Add an African perspective to CC related discussions. To help kick-start CC projects in other African countries. Introducing more African works into the CC pool. <br />
<br />
==Community==<br />
'''Describe the communities that are currently active in the project.''' <br />
<br />
Universities, software programmers, media geeks, musicians, authors, publishers, marketers<br />
<br />
'''How will you continue to engage with these communities?'''<br />
<br />
We will increase our engagement through: Conference talks, website, Twitter, Legal advice, [http://www.tittbit.in email].<br />
<br />
'''Describe the communities (existing or new) that you plan to focus on during the timeframe covered by this roadmap?'''<br />
<br />
Universities + OER community, Artists<br />
<br />
'''How do you plan to engage with these communities?'''<br />
<br />
Twitter, CC SA website, Other Websites and social networks, Conference talks, Workshops.<br />
<br />
==Priority Goals==<br />
'''What are the three most important focus areas on which the Affiliate Team will work during this time period? Please consider community building and adoption goals among your priorities.'''<br />
<br />
1. Focus-area: '''License 3.0'''<br />
Why is it important?<br />
License contains important improvements on v.2.5<br />
<br />
Which communities will benefit?<br />
All users of CC <br />
<br />
2. Focus-area: '''Website Update'''<br />
This includes things like: a collection of case-studies or organisations using CC in South Africa (wiki); Monthly news (at the minimum); Acknowledge all CC SA volunteers and organizational supporters; Put more information about Creative Commons Licensing (including videos) - linking; Links and feeds to and from our other social media profiles<br />
<br />
Why is it important?<br />
This is most people's first stop in getting more information about Creative Commons South Africa. It's the virtual home of the community.<br />
<br />
Which communities will benefit ?<br />
All CC South Africa stakeholders. <br />
<br />
3. Focus-area: '''Open Education Resources Localized Statement'''<br />
<br />
Why is it important?<br />
Many university players have not yet understood that CC is an important part in making OER work. It's a hot topic, which is an opportunity to align ourselves with a relevant and important cause.<br />
<br />
Which communities will benefit?<br />
Universities and Schools.<br />
<br />
4. '''Getting organizational support''', where other companies will offer to provide resources for us, such as printing & Public Relations services. <br />
A list of companies who are prepared to volunteer their services in kind so we know who to call on if necessary.<br />
<br />
5. Join the discussions around the new "IPR from Publicly Financed Research and Development Act" (BAYH - DOLE - like legislation) in South Africa through the website, conference talks, Debates, Petitions & Twitter.<br />
<br />
==Project Outputs==<br />
'''Detail tangible project outputs (e.g., events, papers, blog posts, video/films, etc.) for each focus area including an expected date of completion. See also Timeline.'''<br />
The outputs we plan to complete are as follows:<br />
<br />
# Focus-area: 3.0 licences for South Africa<br />
## Project Output: 3.0 licences for South Africa<br />
## Expected start date: already started - Expected date of completion: June 2011<br />
## Team Member(s) Responsible: Tobias Schonwetter<br />
## How will this output help achieve your goals? Having the most up to date licences is crucial for project success and also shows the commitment of the team.<br />
<br />
# Focus-area<br />
## Project Output: Website update<br />
## Expected start date: 26 January 2011 - Expected date of completion: 31 March 2011 and ongoing thereafter<br />

## How will this output help achieve your goals? Awareness of CC and particularly to help answer the localised jurisdiction of CC. Followers to CC South Africa’s tweetstream develops the community and exposes them to news and resources from the team. <br />
<br />
==Metrics==<br />
Please consider using trackable statistics (such as web traffic or number of license adoptions) when applicable, but only if meaningful.<br />
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 1? N/A<br />
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 2? N/A<br />
* How will you measure and evaluate your impact on focus-area 3? N/A<br />
<br />
==Resources Required==<br />
===People===<br />
'''What human resources or expertise must the team seek out or add to your existing resources, if any, in order to achieve your priority goals?'''<br />
<br />
In 2010, we identified the need to add a "technical lead" to the team and Paul Scott has joined the team to fill this gap (no MoU signed yet). The public lead position is currently being transition to a new lead with the current lead remaining actively involved still. The legal lead has a loose network of supporters to assist with the licence update.<br />
<br />
'''How will you involve these people?'''<br />
They are already involved, we have monthly meetings and supporters will be acknowledged on the website.<br />
<br />
===Technology===<br />
<br />
'''What technology resources must the team seek out or add to your existing resources, if any, in order to achieve your priority goals?'''<br />
<br />
'''How will you obtain these technology resources?'''<br />
<br />
===Materials===<br />
'''What material resources must the team seek out or add to your existing resources, if any, in order to achieve your priority goals?'''<br />
It would be fantastic if CC international could supply us with merchandise and other marketing materials free of charge!!!<br />
'''How will you obtain these material resources?'''<br />
Just send it by post ;-)<br />
<br />
===Other===<br />
'''What other resources must the team seek out or add to all the other resources, if any, in order to achieve your priority goals?'''<br />
'''How will you obtain these other resources?'''<br />
<br />
==Sustainability and Scalability==<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 />
<br />
Regular meetings and open discussions among team members; through community discourse and accountability<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 />
emails, website, social media platforms, meetings<br />
<br />
'''How will you document the project so that others may replicate or learn from your efforts?'''<br />
Creative Commons wiki and our website (and through all of the above communication tools for that matter)<br />
<br />
==Collaboration==<br />
Please have a look at other roadmaps.<br />
'''How could the jurisdiction's plans help drive or support other jurisdictions' activities?'''<br />
<br />
CC South Africa considers itself a pioneer project for CC licensing in Africa and therefore strives to support interested individuals and organisations on the African continent to also initiate CC licensing projects. Such support will include participation in/ administration of CC Africa mailing list, active offering of advice in relation to porting CC licences. The the extent possible, f2f meetings and workshops.<br />
<br />
'''What are other jurisdictions doing that might support or contribute to the project?'''<br />
<br />
Some countries, such as the Australian CC project's site, have more advanced website offerings from which we can learn. CC Brazil appears to have succeeded in building strong cultural relevance that we would like to a emulate.<br />
<br />
'''Would you be interested in mentoring new jurisdiction teams?'''<br />
Yes, see above.<br />
<br />
'''Conversely, would you be interested in having a mentor from a more experienced jurisdiction team?'''<br />
Yes, see above.<br />
<br />
==Regional==<br />
'''Suggest three possible projects on which you can collaborate with other teams on a regional level. If you are not yet involved with the regional network, please contact the regional spokesperson (if any) or notify CC HQ to put you in touch with others.'''<br />
<br />
Adoption of CC licences in other African (exchanging experiences etc and guidelines of how to approach this issue).<br />
<br />
Since there are no other teams yet in our region (Southern Africa), no opportunity for collaboration exists. However, we will look at collaboration opportunities with country project in other African countries, such as Egypt, Kenya and Nigeria, as they arise.<br />
<br />
'''How do you plan to contribute to these projects?'''<br />
Sharing of information and on an ad hoc basis.<br />
<br />
==Translation==<br />
'''In what language(s) will you promote CC in the jurisdiction and why?'''<br />
At this point in time, it is only feasible to promote CC licences in English. Yet, we aim at translating the Commons Deed into several of our official language if volunteers for this can be found. At least 2 such translations of the Commons Deed already exist.<br />
<br />
'''In which of these languages are licenses already available? CC0?'''<br />

<br />
'''Into which of the remaining languages do you intend to translate the licenses? CC0?'''<br />
see above.<br />
<br />
'''How will you involve the local language(s) community?'''<br />
Once we have updated our licences to v3.0, we will get in touch with non-profit translation organisations such as www.translate.org.za and ask for their support on this matter. In addition, we will on our website encourage volunteers to help out.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{4.0 Issue}}<br />
<br />
<!-- provide a short summary of the issue below --><br />
The NonCommmercial (NC) term has for CC's entire history been more popular than ShareAlike and NoDerivatives, the other two optional terms in the CC license suite, though its popularity has slowly but steadily declined.<ref>See chart on slide 8 of the presentation by Mike Linksvayer at the CC Global Summit on 17 September, 2011: [http://www.slideshare.net/mlinksva/the-definition-and-future-of-noncommercial "The definition and future of noncommercial"]</ref> The term as it has appeared in all international [[License versions|versions]] thus far (1.0,<ref>[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/1.0/legalcode Attribution-NonCommercial 1.0]</ref> 2.0,<ref>[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/legalcode Attribution-NonCommercial 2.0]</ref> 2.5,<ref>[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/legalcode Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5]</ref> 3.0<ref>[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/legalcode Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0]</ref>):<br />
:''You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3 above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation. The exchange of the Work for other copyrighted works by means of digital file-sharing or otherwise shall not be considered to be intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation, provided there is no payment of any monetary compensation in connection with the exchange of copyrighted works.'''<br />
<br />
This is reflected on NC license deeds as:<ref>[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 license deed (explanation)]</ref><br />
:''Noncommercial — You may not use this work for commercial purposes.''<br />
<br />
Also in the CC license chooser, with the following question:<ref>[http://creativecommons.org/choose CC license chooser]</ref><br />
:''Allow commercial uses of your work? ( ) Yes ( ) No''<br />
<br />
In addition to much use, the NC term has attracted much discussion and criticism on two grounds:<br />
# uncertainty as to whether particular uses fall in the scope of the term (currently, digital file sharing is the only type of use explicitly stated to be noncommercial) <br />
# works licensed using the term are not fully free/open and the attractiveness of the term, or of CC itself, could lead to under-use of fully open terms (i.e., CC0, CC BY, and CC BY-SA)<br />
<br />
Several [[Case Law|legal cases]] have involved works under CC licenses containing the NC term.<br />
<br />
The popularity of the NC term, and debate around it, indicate that it is an important issue to examine rigorously, and get right (see the main [[4.0|4.0 page]] for context of overall goals) -- which could mean changes in the 4.0 suite, changes outside the licenses themselves, or retaining the exact language used thus far.<br />
<br />
== Proposals for 4.0 ==<br />
''For ease of reference on discussion lists, please do not alter proposal numbers.'' <br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 1:''''' '''Clarify the definition of NonCommercial in the licenses to match wishes of most conservative NC licensors.''' (e.g., making it clear that use of a licensed work on an ad-supported website is commercial, and/or deleting clause specifying that digital file sharing is a noncommercial use)<br />
* Pros:<br />
* Cons:<br />
* Other comments: Question; can the wishes of the most conservative of NC licensors be captured with legal precision?<br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 2:''''' '''Narrow the definition of NonCommercial in the licenses to match wishes of most permissive NC licensors.''' (e.g., making it clear that use of a licensed work on an ad-supported website is non-commercial)<br />
* Pros:<br />
* Cons:<br />
* Other comments: Even if the definition of 'commercial' is not narrowed or broadened, there may be some need to clarify it given widespread confusion; a 2009 CC study found licensors tend to interpret NC liberally. Proposal 10 seeks to define NonCommercial to ensure legal certainty. Question; can the wishes of the most permissive of NC licensors be captured with legal precision?<br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 3:''''' '''Eliminate or re-brand the NC licenses at 4.0 so they do not use the Creative Commons name, or otherwise stand apart.''' <br />
* Pros:<br />
* Cons: Increases search and learning costs for new users/potential users. If Creative Commons Corporation were to do this but continue to support NC licences under another brand it would be accused of deception by those in the open licensing world who don't like NC licenses. <br />
* Other comments: The majority (albeit a diminishing majority) of CC works are NC-licensed<br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 4:''''' '''Eliminate one or more (but not all) of the NC licenses from the 4.0 license suite.''' <br />
*'''BY-NC''' [Note: please visit the [[4.0/Treatment of adaptations]] page to comment on this proposal.]<br />
*'''BY-NC-SA''' <br />
**Pros: BY-NC-SA and BY-SA are incompatible, creating two corralled reciprocal commons.<br />
** Cons:<br />
** Other comments:<br />
*'''BY-NC-ND'''<br />
**Pros:<br />
** Cons:<br />
** Other comments: The most conservative CC licence and potentially a 'stepping stone' to more liberal licences. Question: what use cases have emerged for By-NC-ND?<br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 5:''''' [deleted and combined with NC Proposal No. 1 to avoid redundancies] <br />
* Pros:<br />
* Cons: <br />
* Other comments: <br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 6:''''' '''Explicitly state that NC licences are non-free, non-libre and non-open licences'''<br />
* Pros: Because 'free' and 'open' are publicly recognised terms with value, making it clear that NC works are not free and open will encourage the use of other licences.<br />
* Cons: The terms 'open content','open gaming' and 'open educational resources' have been used broadly to include NC content. The battle about the meaning of open is just beginning as it is increasingly being appropriated by monopolists for example the publishing companies that claim that their ARR works are ''gratis open access''. Unlikely to satisfy those who think that NC licenses should be eliminated.<br />
* Other comments: A milder form of Proposal 3<br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 7:''''' '''Replace/transform NonCommercial license with/to NonProfit-License'''<br />
* Pros:<br />
* Cons: Non Profit is no easier to define than Non Commercial so no legal precision is gained.. Incompatibility with works licensed under NC licenses.User confusion about the difference between two similar but not identical terms.<br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 8:''''' '''Provide ways for users to clarify what questionable uses they are willing to allow '''<br />
* Pros: Removes the ambiguity of the NC license<br />
* Cons: Creates a splinted mess of potentially non-compatible sub-licenses. Creates legal uncertainty. What the license means becomes subject to communications outside of the license. Increases transactions costs for the licensor who must make many more decisions.<br />
* Other comments: In educational use, I often want to have CC-NC licensed materials printed through print-on-demand companies. It is unclear whether this is commercial or not, since the printing company is certainly making a profit. It would be nice if the copyright holder could specify whether they allow cases like this.<br />
* Other comments: This may fall under [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_change_the_terms_of_a_CC_license_or_waive_some_of_its_conditions.3F the waiver options available to licensors] and therefore be unnecessary. ("A licensor may always grant more permissions than are granted by our licenses. The 3.0 licenses specifically contemplate a waiver or consent as long as the waiver or consent is in writing and signed.") In the example above, adding some text about the waiver conditions next to the CC license should suffice. Creating an automated waiver system might be a more useful approach.<br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 9:''''' '''Create a new CC license, NC-EDU, that prohibits non-commercial uses, but allows educational uses.'''<br />
<br />
This proposal is explained on the [http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-licenses/2011-December/006436.html cc-licenses list in a post of Dec. 12, 2011] by Brian Carver. The proposed language defining the "educational use" exception is:<br />
<br />
an exception for "...performance or display of a work by instructors or pupils in the course of teaching activities of an educational institution, in a classroom or similar place devoted to instruction or as part of instructional activities transmitted via digital networks..." Amendments and refinements are welcome.<br />
<br />
The license-chooser would also be modified to ask "Permit educational uses?" as a follow-on option to those that select "NonCommercial."<br />
<br />
* Pros: <br />
**This does not make the license suite more confusing because many who choose "NonCommercial" do not intend to prevent the use of their work for these educational purposes, but rather wish to prohibit the direct sale of their work. The suggestion is that providing this option would allow those choosing an NC license to better express the intentions they've had all along, making the suite less confusing and a more accurate reflection of user intentions.<br />
**This is a better alternative to doing nothing because currently many individuals choose the NC option and that material is then unavailable, as a practical matter, for educational uses. Those that are inclined to choose NC will not typically choose merely BY or BY-SA, etc. However, they are not typically considering the negative impact on educational uses when they choose NC and would do otherwise if given the option. Every individual that then chose NC-EDU rather than merely NC would thereby increase the material easily re-usable in educational contexts and this would be a massively good thing.<br />
* Cons: license proliferation, undercuts the trend to increasing use of CC By for OER's, shifts definitional uncertainty from problems with defining non-commercial to the even harder problem of defining education/teaching. The definition offered privileges people in developed countries who can pay for formal education rather than those in developing countries who seek to use copyright works for non formal educational use. The name seems seems likely to suffer from the same marketing problem as the development license, potential licensors thought that the license was intended for use by developing countries, rather than by anyone who wanted to allow use in a developing country.<br />
* Other comments: <br />
<br />
''''NC Proposal No.10'''' ''Define NC transactionally so that it is legally certain''<br />
<br />
Proposed Definition: '''commercial use is the transactional use of the work; that is selling, bartering, or letting the copyright work or including the work in a paid for advertisement (and the like)'''<br />
*Pros: clear, simple, certain,applicable to every possible situation, all over the world. Defining the term non commercial has given rise to a great deal of debate. By contrast all legal systems have definitions of sale, letting, bartering and the like.<br />
*Cons: motivated by legal certainty rather than the sentiments of a user community, it will eliminate a topic of endless discussion from cc community lists, there is the possibility of incompatibility with work licensed under previous versions of the NC license but then how much are NC works remixed?<br />

<!-- provide a short summary of the issue below --><br />
The NonCommmercial (NC) term has for CC's entire history been more popular than ShareAlike and NoDerivatives, the other two optional terms in the CC license suite, though its popularity has slowly but steadily declined.<ref>See chart on slide 8 of the presentation by Mike Linksvayer at the CC Global Summit on 17 September, 2011: [http://www.slideshare.net/mlinksva/the-definition-and-future-of-noncommercial "The definition and future of noncommercial"]</ref> The term as it has appeared in all international [[License versions|versions]] thus far (1.0,<ref>[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/1.0/legalcode Attribution-NonCommercial 1.0]</ref> 2.0,<ref>[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/legalcode Attribution-NonCommercial 2.0]</ref> 2.5,<ref>[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/legalcode Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5]</ref> 3.0<ref>[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/legalcode Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0]</ref>):<br />
:''You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3 above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation. The exchange of the Work for other copyrighted works by means of digital file-sharing or otherwise shall not be considered to be intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation, provided there is no payment of any monetary compensation in connection with the exchange of copyrighted works.'''<br />
<br />
This is reflected on NC license deeds as:<ref>[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 license deed (explanation)]</ref><br />
:''Noncommercial — You may not use this work for commercial purposes.''<br />
<br />
Also in the CC license chooser, with the following question:<ref>[http://creativecommons.org/choose CC license chooser]</ref><br />
:''Allow commercial uses of your work? ( ) Yes ( ) No''<br />
<br />
In addition to much use, the NC term has attracted much discussion and criticism on two grounds:<br />
# uncertainty as to whether particular uses fall in the scope of the term (currently, digital file sharing is the only type of use explicitly stated to be noncommercial) <br />
# works licensed using the term are not fully free/open and the attractiveness of the term, or of CC itself, could lead to under-use of fully open terms (i.e., CC0, CC BY, and CC BY-SA)<br />
<br />
Several [[Case Law|legal cases]] have involved works under CC licenses containing the NC term.<br />
<br />
The popularity of the NC term, and debate around it, indicate that it is an important issue to examine rigorously, and get right (see the main [[4.0|4.0 page]] for context of overall goals) -- which could mean changes in the 4.0 suite, changes outside the licenses themselves, or retaining the exact language used thus far.<br />
<br />
== Proposals for 4.0 ==<br />
''For ease of reference on discussion lists, please do not alter proposal numbers.'' <br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 1:''''' '''Clarify the definition of NonCommercial in the licenses to match wishes of most conservative NC licensors.''' (e.g., making it clear that use of a licensed work on an ad-supported website is commercial, and/or deleting clause specifying that digital file sharing is a noncommercial use)<br />
* Pros:<br />
* Cons:<br />
* Other comments: Question; can the wishes of the most conservative of NC licensors be captured with legal precision?<br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 2:''''' '''Narrow the definition of NonCommercial in the licenses to match wishes of most permissive NC licensors.''' (e.g., making it clear that use of a licensed work on an ad-supported website is non-commercial)<br />
* Pros:<br />
* Cons:<br />
* Other comments: Even if the definition of 'commercial' is not narrowed or broadened, there may be some need to clarify it given widespread confusion; a 2009 CC study found licensors tend to interpret NC liberally. Proposal 10 seeks to define NonCommercial to ensure legal certainty.<br />
Question; can the wishes of the most permissive of NC licensors be captured with legal precision?<br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 3:''''' '''Eliminate or re-brand the NC licenses at 4.0 so they do not use the Creative Commons name, or otherwise stand apart.''' <br />
* Pros:<br />
* Cons: Increases search and learning costs for new users/potential users. If Creative Commons Corporation were to do this but continue to support NC licences under another brand it would be accused of deception by those in the open licensing world who don't like NC licenses. <br />
* Other comments: The majority (albeit a diminishing majority) of CC works are NC-licensed<br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 4:''''' '''Eliminate one or more (but not all) of the NC licenses from the 4.0 license suite.''' <br />
*'''BY-NC''' [Note: please visit the [[4.0/Treatment of adaptations]] page to comment on this proposal.]<br />
*'''BY-NC-SA''' <br />
**Pros: BY-NC-SA and BY-SA are incompatible, creating two corralled reciprocal commons.<br />
** Cons:<br />
** Other comments:<br />
*'''BY-NC-ND'''<br />
**Pros:<br />
** Cons:<br />
** Other comments: The most conservative CC licence and potentially a 'stepping stone' to more liberal licences. Question: what use cases have emerged for By-NC-ND?<br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 5:''''' [deleted and combined with NC Proposal No. 1 to avoid redundancies] <br />
* Pros:<br />
* Cons: <br />
* Other comments: <br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 6:''''' '''Explicitly state that NC licences are non-free, non-libre and non-open licences'''<br />
* Pros: Because 'free' and 'open' are publicly recognised terms with value, making it clear that NC works are not free and open will encourage the use of other licences.<br />
* Cons: The terms 'open content','open gaming' and 'open educational resources' have been used broadly to include NC content. The battle about the meaning of open is just beginning as it is increasingly being appropriated by monopolists for example the publishing companies that claim that their ARR works are ''gratis open access''. Unlikely to satisfy those who think that NC licenses should be eliminated.<br />
* Other comments: A milder form of Proposal 3<br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 7:''''' '''Replace/transform NonCommercial license with/to NonProfit-License'''<br />
* Pros:<br />
* Cons: Non Profit is no easier to define than Non Commercial so no legal precision is gained.. Incompatibility with works licensed under NC licenses.User confusion about the difference between two similar but not identical terms.<br />
<br />
'''''NC Proposal No. 8:''''' '''Provide ways for users to clarify what questionable uses they are willing to allow '''<br />
* Pros: Removes the ambiguity of the NC license<br />
* Cons: Creates a splinted mess of potentially non-compatible sub-licenses. Creates legal uncertainty. What the license means becomes subject to communications outside of the license. Increases transactions costs for the licensor who must make many more decisions.<br />
* Other comments: In educational use, I often want to have CC-NC licensed materials printed through print-on-demand companies. It is unclear whether this is commercial or not, since the printing company is certainly making a profit. It would be nice if the copyright holder could specify whether they allow cases like this.<br />
* Other comments: This may fall under [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_change_the_terms_of_a_CC_license_or_waive_some_of_its_conditions.3F the waiver options available to licensors] and therefore be unnecessary.
