 "Update from the CEO - One year in" ...

letter, - and on Growing the Commons ...

At the end of May, I'll mark one year in my post as Creative Commons CEO. I can't believe how quickly the time has passed. We've had several really significant wins, but we've also had a very difficult year, and there are more challenges ahead.

Today, CC licenses are the global standard for sharing and open content publishing. But that's just the first step: we need to connect creators and collaborators to bring that content to life; inspire a culture of gratitude and engagement between creators and re-users; and make the commons more discoverable, useful, and vital to realize the benefits of free culture and open knowledge: access, equity, and innovation.

The future of the Commons is at risk.

Content is locked up behind copyright extensions, barricaded behind the walled gardens of social networks, and restrained by well-funded lobbyists and a few big publishers that want to put profits before public interests on publicly-funded research, content and data. Access to education has never been more important, and the value of public research and data was never more clear.

...

Today, Creative Commons is a leader in the most important open movements around the world: open education and textbooks, open access to research in science and the humanities, and open data, to name a few. We support volunteer chapters in over 80 countries, working with governments, institutions, and individuals to grow and share the commons. Our work is essential, accomplished by a small team of less than 20 full- and part-time staff around the world.

Last fall, we developed a new strategy together to focus on the next phase of our work: to build on the growing archive of shared works to create a vibrant, engaged, and useful commons for everyone. Together with our partners, volunteers, and funders, we identified four strategic goals:

• Growing the commons
• Building a movement
• Advancing policy and advocacy
• Ensuring our sustainability

...

In the coming days, I'll share more with you about our plans to implement our four strategic goals, and discuss how we will achieve them — together.

Best,

Ryan
