[Sweden] Fwd: [cc-affiliates] 2011 CC Global meeting - sweden@lists.fsfe.org

23 Nov 2010


      Hej
Det vore ju kul att kombinera detta med FSCONS 2011, men jag tror det
blir för mycket jobb. Särskilt det där med att ha planerat finansiering
till i januari? De vill även ha det 2011 Q3, vilket väl är lite tidigt
för FSCONS.

Hi, in the 2+ years since Sapporo we've seen tremendous growth (of the
CC affiliate network and of CC's global adoption and impact) and had
many successful regional meetings. Next year we need to convene globally
again. Over the past year or so some of you have expressed an interest
in hosting a global conference. Now is your chance ... read below for
what we (primarily developed with Diane Peters and Joi Ito) are thinking.
Inquiries most welcome, as is feedback. We plan on posting this publicly
in the next week.
Best,
Mike
*Creative Commons Global Meeting 2011*
*Abstract of Meeting; Request for Proposals*
Creative Commons intends to convene a global meeting in the second half
of 2011, bringing together the CC Affiliate Network, CC board and staff,
key stakeholders and valuable others to engage strategically on issues
related to the future of our shared commons, to renew and further build
CC’s vital community, to collaborate on mutual projects and initiatives,
and to celebrate our successes as we conclude our eighth year together.
CC is soliciting proposals to co-host and co-organize the meeting
through this lightweight RFP process. Organizations interested in
submitting a proposal should do so by no later than 2011 January 10. See
below for more details on contents of proposals and how to submit.
Creative Commons may elect to host the meeting without a co-host in the
absence of a compelling proposal.
*Meeting Logistics – RFP Contents*
*Dates*
2011Q3, 3-4 consecutive days (TBD); alternative timing may be considered
but is unlikely given desirability of co-locating a CC board meeting
with the global meeting.
*Location*
Require easy accessibility from major international airport; readily
available public transportation; easy and inexpensive visa requirements;
appropriate conference and lodging facilities.
Prefer to co-locate with another conference or event with overlapping or
common subject matter and participants.
*Attendees*
Principal participants to include: 1 or 2 reps from each CC jurisdiction
(TBD whether must be officially involved or may include additional non
official reps); CC board; key CC staff. Estimate approximately 150
principal attendees from all then-existing jurisdictions in which CC has
members of its CC Affiliate Network (this number includes board and key
staff).
*Key Meeting Features*
Agenda and structure to be determined, but expected to include:
* CC board meeting (portions to be open to affiliates and public,
      possibly webcast)
    * CC Affiliate Network meetings
          o Plenary
          o Regional planning sessions
          o Legal and community-focused, other
          o Workshops (e.g., fundraising)
    * Public and other sessions – topics/focus areas TBD, but expected
      to include sessions dedicated to: data and public sector
      information; other key adoption opportunities (OER, cultural
      heritage institutions, government, etc.); status of CC licenses
      and public domain tools, including discussion of considerations
      for version 4.0 of the CC license suite.
*Funding; Budget*
Proposals must include fundraising strategy and plan, covering
conference meeting costs as well as lodging & transportation costs for
all principal participants. Preliminary budgets strongly encouraged.
*RFP Submissions*
Proposals to co-host and co-organize the meeting must be made in writing
and submitted to Creative Commons (see below) by no later than January
10. Submissions should includes plans addressing the meeting logistic
outlined above, as concretely as possible. All responses must include a
fundraising strategy and plan. Responses may anticipate participation by
CC in the fundraising process and should include a preliminary budget
proposal. Please identify and discuss all key contingencies bearing on
the proposal. Proposals may include additional information that the
proposing organization wishes CC to consider. CC may request additional
information following the initial submission.
All proposals will be posted to CC’s wiki for public review and comment.
A decision will be announced as soon as practical following the close of
the process, and by no later than March 15.
*More Information and Submissions*
Please contact CC prior to making your submission, if you would like
more information or discuss your proposal. All submissions and requests
for additional information should be directed to
2011global@creativecommons.org mailto:2011global@creativecommons.org
(should you wonder who you're writing to, the initial round of inquiries
will be fielded Diane Peters, General Counsel, and Mike Linksvayer, Vice
President).
