Roadmap

Goal: Porting of the Creative Commons License to the Venezuelan Legislation.

The project of porting the Creative Commons Licenses to the Venezuelan Legislation, will be coordinated by the Centro Nacional de Tecnologías de Información (National Center of Information Technologies). The CNTI is part of the Ministry of the peoples' power for the Telecommunications and Informatics.

Precedents

There is an increasing number of countries around the world that ported the Creative Commons Licenses to their jurisdiction, in order to provide legal base to authors and users looking to use, distribute, reuse, and adapt the works of creativity and knowledge such as books, movies, papers, and others.

Is a goal of the government of Venezuela to create the necessary conditions to facilitate the social appropriation of knowledge to achieve a fair distribution of wealth and the most social happiness between it citizens.

Considering that the Creative Commons Licenses provide a tested and mature base to protect both the authorship and the right to access and distribution of knowledge, the CNTI signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Creative Commons International to promote and coordinate a national effort to port the licenses to the Venezuelan Jurisdiction.

Justification

With the intention of promoting of the development of the free knowledge in our society and stimulate his appropriation, there is necessary of the porting of a license that it allows the precises conditions of coy, divulgation and distribution of content. MT: Legal justification of porting? Could still lead with community here, use a translation of the Unported. Send Pre-Porting Questionnaire?

The great power and popularity that has taken at present the new model of collaborative work and the sharing of experience are the principal reasons to introduce in the Venezuelan culture a new legal vision to yield knowledge.

General Aim

Specifics Aims

  1. Assemble the working group that will be in charge of the study of the base license (creative commons).
  2. Study the Venezuelan legislation, with regard of those laws that regulate the author's rights and those that benefit juridical figures that endorse the impulse and strengthening of the collaborative work and the social appropriation of the knowledge. MT: Working group determines if porting is necessary
  3. Execute the procedure stipulated by Creative Commons International; including:
  • Production of the first draft
  • Public Discussion of the first draft
  • Adjust the first draft accordingly to the results of the Public Discussion, which results in the second draft that is transmitted to the organization before mentioned for his respective review and approval.
