Hi everyone,
Earlier this year, the Creative Commons Copyright Platform
<https://network.creativecommons.org/cc-copyright-platform-activity-fund/>
formed
four working groups to undertake an exploration of policy issues affecting
the open ecosystem, in line with the Creative Commons 2021-2026 strategy
<https://creativecommons.org/2020/12/16/announcing-our-new-strategy-whats-ne…>.
These four working groups exist to address four policy themes, including 1)
artificial intelligence and open content, 2) platform liability, 3)
copyright exceptions and limitations, 4) the ethics of open sharing. You
can learn more about each of these groups and their charges in this CC blog
post
<https://creativecommons.org/2021/05/25/four-creative-commons-working-groups…>
.
We are writing to you today as representatives of Working Group 4 on the
ethics of open sharing. We have been drafting a short white paper
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GRx7V2utoVV-bd2ALzYv5fSxlIMNmMHAftEHHPb…>
that
outlines some of the most pertinent and pressing questions and use cases
involving the ethics of open sharing, and we’d like to ask you and the
members of your community to join us in an open consultation to review and
provide comments and feedback on this document.
The goal is to get wide-ranging input about these thorny but essential
questions at the crossroads of ethics and open sharing. This paper will be
published on Creative Commons’ Medium publication
<https://medium.com/creative-commons-we-like-to-share> and outcomes will be
shared in a public webinar hosted by CC on 9 November, 2021. Details on how
to join the webinar will be shared soon, stay tuned!
The consultation is open until Sunday, 24 October, 2021.
Link to the draft paper:

Thank you for your help as we work together to create and build the future
of open sharing.
