<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi,<br><br></div>after the two day Big Fat Brussels Meeting Vol. 2 [1] we've decided to have the FKAGEU participate in this. This way we can save some time resources. Individual chapters, however, will be free to join if they wish so. <br>
<br></div><div>We'll have to work out the best way to share information/resources within the FKAGEU about this and see how to best participate (e.g. representative that informs everyone else or multiple participants). It will depend on the structure and nature of the OPN.<br>

<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Stephen and I spoke with Tim Vollmer of OPN/CC on Tuesday, and OPN seems
like this is something both chapters and the Foundation might find useful. Essentially, the purpose is to make it easier to share information about how to influence policy towards more open licensing. This isn't a substitute for other kinds of work (e.g., on copyright reform) but may be a useful resource for Wikimedians (perhaps particularly chapters) who are working with local governments on explaining the value of open licensing. <br>
<br>As further context on the OPN, it may be useful to take a look at the guiding principles:<br>

Hi all:<br>
<br>
We're almost ready to launch the Open Policy Network website. Sorry<br>
for the delay!<br>
<br>
Here's a draft: <a href="http://staging.openpolicynetwork.org/" target="_blank">http://staging.openpolicynetwork.org/</a> (will eventually<br>
be <a href="http://openpolicynetwork.org" target="_blank">openpolicynetwork.org</a>).<br>
<br>
We need interested orgs to indicate whether they'd like to be listed<br>
as members on the website. If you are we will include a logo on this<br>
page<br>
<br>
<a href="http://staging.openpolicynetwork.org/about/#members" target="_blank">http://staging.openpolicynetwork.org/about/#members</a><br>
<br>
Please let me know if you want your org listed and where to get a<br>
.png/.jpg logo.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
timothy<br>
<br>
P.S. we wrote a bit more about the OPN and Institute for Open<br>
Leadership on the CC site awhile ago -<br>
