Case Studies/Citizen Now
Citizen Now is an open-source visioning project anchored in a group of CC-licensed statements --- formally, the "Draft Guiding Statements for a Community Convening a Democracy Movement for the United States --- that were consensus-developed, from August 2010 to January 2012, by the Principles and Purpose Working Group.
The Working Group came together to support the development of the political organization known as the Coffee Party. But, over time, the Group saw itself less and less exclusively in those terms --- and, by the time the Group concluded its work, it had become completely independent of the Coffee Party.
In January 2012, the Group provisioned the statements with a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 license, as well as with a dedicated wiki, and published the statements at CitizenNow.org.
