The Project Lead is the central figure for the porting of the licenses into national law. He/she would be an expert in copyright law, more often than not a lawyer, and more often than not associated with the Institution or Law Firm. In some jurisdictions iCommons will identify the Project Lead first and ask him/her for help in finding a renowned copyright Institution or renowned Law Firm. In other jurisdictions, we will be in contact with the Institution/Firm first and will try to find a Project Lead from within.

To preserve the global spirit of Creative Commons, we strive for utmost similarity between the licenses worldwide. It is very important to us that the porting be very close to the original and go into the specifics of national law only when absolutely necessary. Once the first published of the licenses is produced, it should be re-translated into English. This step is for us from Creative Commons, so we can learn what differences the legal systems of the respective jurisdictions have brought into our licenses. We should look for the first publisheding of the ported licenses to take no longer than 1 month.</li>

Ease-of-use by non-lawyers has been Creative Common's priority since its birth.
