Thanks to the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, the first convening of key stakeholders, funders, and leaders across various "open" domains to plan an [[Open Policy Institute]] will take place on October 3-5, 2012. This meeting will be held jointly with the [[School of Open]], an initiative with overlapping aims. This meeting is invite-only; however results and post meeting activities will be open and continue to be built in collaboration with the community.

If we are going to unleash the power of hundreds of billions of dollars of publicly funded education, research and scientific resources, we need broad adoption of open policies. For the purposes of open policies that contribute to the public good, we define policy broadly as legislation, institutional policies, and/or funder mandates.

Hotel check-in time is after 3pm on Oct 3 and check-out is by 12pm on Oct 5.  
+
There are at least two major barriers that have prevented broad open policy adoption. (1) There is no organized support for open policy advocates and governments who want to learn about, craft, and implement open policies. (2) Existing policy makers typically don’t understand how open policies can increase the impact of public investments.
  
== Ground Transportation options ==

If we get this simple idea right, open sustainability could cease to be an issue because: (a) there will be plenty of public funding to build and maintain all of the education, science, data, an other resources the world needs, and, (b) “open” becomes the default and “closed” becomes the exception for publicly funded resources.
Participants will cover their own incidental expenses including ground transportation to/from airport and parking.

Universal access to and participation in research, education, and culture is made possible by “openness”, but not enough people know what "open" means or how to take advantage of it. The School of Open is a collaboration between Creative Commons and the Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) to create a learning community focused on “open” standards, tools, and practices and their practical application in life and society. The workshop will gather key representatives from different “open” sectors to focus the initiative and start with concrete first steps. We hope to develop a skills map, compile a set of initial subject areas, identify partner organizations and initiatives, list existing materials and content and plan the key milestones for year 1.

Thanks to the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, the first convening of key stakeholders, funders, and leaders across various "open" domains to plan an Open Policy Institute will take place on October 3-5, 2012. This meeting will be held jointly with the School of Open, an initiative with overlapping aims. This meeting is invite-only; however results and post meeting activities will be open and continue to be built in collaboration with the community.

A Convening to Brainstorm the Utility of an Open Policy Institute (Leads: Cable Green & Timothy Vollmer)

Wiki: Open Policy Institute
Handout: pdf download

As open advocates recognize the potential for open policies to significantly increase the amount and quality of education, research and scientific resources and data, there is a pressing need to provide them support so they can successfully craft and implement open policies. A new Open Policy Institute could provide support to open advocates and governments exploring open policies.

Open policy requires unrestricted access and open licensing of resources financed through public and philanthropic funding in order to maximize the impact of the investment.

Open Policy (for governments) = publicly funded resources are openly licensed resources.

If we are going to unleash the power of hundreds of billions of dollars of publicly funded education, research and scientific resources, we need broad adoption of open policies. For the purposes of open policies that contribute to the public good, we define policy broadly as legislation, institutional policies, and/or funder mandates.

There are at least two major barriers that have prevented broad open policy adoption. (1) There is no organized support for open policy advocates and governments who want to learn about, craft, and implement open policies. (2) Existing policy makers typically don’t understand how open policies can increase the impact of public investments.

If we get this simple idea right, open sustainability could cease to be an issue because: (a) there will be plenty of public funding to build and maintain all of the education, science, data, an other resources the world needs, and, (b) “open” becomes the default and “closed” becomes the exception for publicly funded resources.

A School of Open Workshop (Leads: Jane Park & Philipp Schmidt)

Wiki: School of Open
Handout: (pdf download)

Universal access to and participation in research, education, and culture is made possible by “openness”, but not enough people know what "open" means or how to take advantage of it. The School of Open is a collaboration between Creative Commons and the Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) to create a learning community focused on “open” standards, tools, and practices and their practical application in life and society. The workshop will gather key representatives from different “open” sectors to focus the initiative and start with concrete first steps. We hope to develop a skills map, compile a set of initial subject areas, identify partner organizations and initiatives, list existing materials and content and plan the key milestones for year 1.
