[pd-discuss] COMMUNIA Positive Agenda for the Public Domain

Fri Dec 7 07:18:00 UTC 2012

Hi all,
Communia recently released a new policy paper which proposes to contribute
to defining a positive agenda for the Public Domain.
It includes the following recommendations:
1. Definition of a positive status for the Public Domain
2. Recognition of the validity of voluntary dedication to the Public Domain
3. Facilitating the identification of the Public Domain status
See
http://publicdomain.okfn.org/2012/12/06/communia-positive-agenda-for-the-public-domain/
.

This policy paper is grounded on a WIPO study by Professor Séverine
Dusollier <http://www.wipo.int/meetings/en/doc_details.jsp?doc_id=182617>,
Communia
policy recommendations<http://www.communia-association.org/recommendations-2/>and
Communia
previous WIPO statements<http://www.communia-association.org/2012/11/14/wipo-cdip10-comments-on-the-scenarios-and-possible-options-concerning-recommendations-1c-1f-and-2a-of-the-scoping-study-on-copyright-and-related-rights-and-the-public-domain/>.
The document is still a work-in-progress - we would greatly appreciate any
of your comments or feedback to help us move towards a positive agenda for
the Public Domain at WIPO.
Cheers,
Primavera
