We're refreshing the Creative Commons organizational strategy! Why, you might ask? 1. It would be an understatement to say that much has changed since we developed the strategy in 2020 and launched it in 2021. 2. We are building on past strategies, leveraging what has worked and learning from what hasn’t. 3. We are steering this process with the goal of returning to the core of CC, as a movement, as a community, and as legal and technical infrastructure. 4. Our goal is to emerge with an updated strategy that takes into account generative AI alongside the human act of creating and sharing; paired with a sound operational and sustainable organizational layer. More information to come! We are looking forward to connecting with you on this process and we can’t wait to hear your insights on the future of CC! https://loom.ly/YlA_h3w
