WHAT IS AN OPEN POLICY?

Open policies are laws, rules and courses of action that facilitate the creation, use or improvement of openly licensed content.

The adoption of open policies can maximize the return on public investments and promote a global commons of resources for innovative reuse.

Publicly funded resources should be openly licensed resources.

Open licensing policies typically have two parts / options:

(1) how will my institution / government openly license what we (staff) create?(2) how will my institution / government require openly licenses on works we fund via grants, contracts, and/or commission to be built?

Common Characteristics:

1. Specific and address a need2. Developed collaboratively with

stakeholders3. Make process public and

transparent4. Provide and allow for feedback5. Evaluation and how do we evaluate

(data and stories)6. How do we change if not working?7. How will be policy be enforced?
