education, technology, and culture...
But not enough people know what
“open” means or how to apply it.

●
●
●
Warsaw CC Summit 2011
OER on the radar of policymakers
CC affiliates requested support
current efforts decentralized and uncoordinated
need a network to share and discuss
need best data, toolkits, arguments
let’s not miss opportunities that arise!

13. MISSION
● Foster the creation, adoption, and
implementation of open policies that advance the
public good.
● Do this by supporting advocates, organizations,
policymakers, and connecting policy
opportunities with those who can provide
assistance.

14. PRINCIPLES
● ‘Open Policy’ mantra: publicly funded resources
are openly licensed resources
● Default aim for licensing: Open Definition (with preference
for CC BY and CC0).
● Do not recreate the wheel; leverage expertise
● Work with existing policy recommendations: Paris OER,
BOAI, Panton Principles, Communia, etc.
● Free for anyone to join. Contribute and abide by mission
and guiding principles.

15. WORK PLAN
● Link to, catalog, and curate existing policy resources.
● Build new resources and/or services only where capacity or
expertise does not currently exist.
● Connect policy makers to experts.
● Provide baseline level of assistance for all opportunities.
● Share information with openly with members and the
public, using open licenses (of course), multiple languages,
transparent fashion.
