Enable innovation and access to knowledge through open source information and standards

A creative commons is free, open, shareable, with equitable access. It calls for the decentralization, relocalization, and differentiation of technology, and knowledge.

Proposals for structural change (
set of policies, practices and investments)

  • Push for information and standards to be:

    1. FREE - information freely available to anyone who wants access to it,

    2. EDITABLE - in editable formats to enable people to remix, add, build upon, learn and improve,

    3. OPEN - shared under open licenses to enable legal decentralised collaboration - enable access to knowledge, vaccines/medicines - enable the right to fix, access to repair tutorials and spare parts.

  • Creative commons policies that require publicly funded research to be made available under an open license or dedicated to the public domain (eg. COVID19 data and research) and all educational resources to be openly licensed to facilitate dissemination of reliable, practical information to the public.

Restore modes of information and communication free from commercial bias

The internet and public media needs to be an open, non-commercial public space that will allow communities to connect globally and share knowledge and experience.

Proposals for structural change (
set of policies, practices and investments)

  • Access to the internet for all.

  • Decouple advertising from the internet, social media and other public channels to create spaces free from commercial pressure.

  • Enable search results to be free from promotions.

  • Access to renewable energy and networks for excluded communities.
