1st European Creative Commons meeting (17. - 18. march 2005 in
Amsterdam)

On the 17th and 18th of march 2005 Creative Commons Nederland invites
all organizations and individuals involved in the European iCommons
projects for a first European Creative Commons Meeting in Amsterdam.
This meeting will take place in the framework of the Creative Capital
Conference (www.creativecapital.nl) that is organized on the same dates
by Stichting Nederland Kennisland in collaboration with Waag Society.
Nederland Kennisland and Waag Society, together with the Institute for
Information Law at the University of Amsterdam, form Creative Commons
Nederland.

At the time of writing the Creative Commons licenses have been ported
for use in nine1 different European jurisdictions and in a substantial
number of other European Counties the efforts are well under way. Our
experience with the Creative Commons Licenses and their promotion has
come to suggest that there are a) substantial differences in the
institutional background between the US (where the licenses originate
form) and (continental) Europe and b) that some of the challenges to a
wider adoption of the Creative Commons license model (such as the
practices and statutory position of collective rights management
societies) are very similar throughout Europe. Additionally, some
important legal frameworks that shape the legal space wherein Creative
Commons must operate are formed on the level of the European Union.

This situation calls for cooperation and collaboration among the
individuals and organizations that back the Creative Commons Licenses
in Europe. With this meeting we intend to explore in how far such a
collaboration is possible, what it should focuses on and how we can
shape it. During the second day of the meeting the chairman and founder
of the Creative Commons project  Lawrence Lessig will participate in
the meeting (t.b.c). This will provide the participants to discuss the
issues raised during the first day with him and to look for
possibilities of integrating  European experiences into the future
development of the Creative Commons project.

With this first European Creative Commons meeting we hope to establish
a constructive collaboration between the different national projects
that in the long run will enable us to share resources and experiences,
develop common projects and enables us to jointly react to policy
developments on the European level. This meeting should focus on
aspects of community building and the promotion of the Creative Commons
Licenses in Europe. We want to avoid discussing the legal aspects of
the Creative commons licenses in Europe at this point. Such a
discussion could be part of a follow-up meeting.
Programme:
(note: the programme is part of the Creative Capital Conference. As a
result of this there are no activities planned in mornings during the
Conference Keynote Speeches. A full conference programme including all
other conference threads will be available shortly).

Thursday 17th of march:

1330 – 1500 1st round: (participation restricted to individuals and
organizations involved in Creative Commons projects) Presentation of
the different national Creative Commons Projects; Presentation of the
Commons Project (t.b.c); What are possible forms of
collaboration/coordination on the European Level.

1500 – 1700	2nd round: (participation open to all interested conference
participants) what specific challenges are there for creative commons
in Europe? What can be done (on a European level) to address these
challenges? What are possible common projects? (the intention is to
come up with a common agenda for creative commons in Europe).

Friday 18th of march:

1100 – 1030:	Conference Keynote presentation by Lawrence Lessig (t.b.c)

1315 – 1445 3rd round: (participation open to all interested conference
participants) Presentation of the common agenda to Lawrence Lessig
(t.b.c) and European/Dutch policy makers; discussion.

Practical Information:

The meeting will take place as part of the Creative Capital Conference
in Central Amsterdam. Creative Commons Nederland will cover the
conference fees for the participants of this meeting. Additionally can
pay for lodging and travel expenses for a limited amount of
participants. Creative Commons NL can also assist in finding
accommodation for participants. In case of further questions or to
