Thank you for your interest in the international project of the Creative Commons.

We would like to see CC flourish and grow around the world. There are a number of ways to get involved, from hosting a salon, translating, or starting a new jurisdiction project.

We are still looking for experts and passionate people from all around the world to get involved. The following overview is designed to help you understand what building a jurisdiction team would entail:

• Introduction to Creative Commons and Jurisdiction Teams
• Self Assessment Tool describes the roles of Jurisdiction team members in more detail: Community, Legal, Tech, Language, Affiliate Institution
• CC Porting Guidelines outlines the steps to port the licenses in a jurisdiction. These steps are being revised; please contact CC for more details.
