        <description>Creative Commons has evolved from a great idea, to a series of licences, to a global movement of a variety of projects which are quickly becoming ubiquitous in technical, social and academic circles. Ito will provide an overview of Creative Commons and its projects, and explore the opportunities and challenges ahead.

        <description>Participatory culture, which entails a large part of Free Culture, becomes a reality when works are not only published under an (open content) licence, but also shared, circulated, discovered - be it through a search engine or via word of mouth - and appreciated, commented on, and adapted. Participants roles are not just limited to creation here, but spans from creation to adaption. It is also observable that the new internet-based collaboration platforms foster a lively interactions between creators and their audience.

In this session, innovators in support technology fronts will discuss the present and future of the technologies for participatory culture. </description>

        <description>More than any other industry, fashion treats most of its creative output as a commons - shared resources that can be freely reused, recreated and recombined. How does the fashion industry manage to thrive with virtually no copyright protection?</description>

        <description>The fair use doctrine provides a critical exception to American copyright protection, and plays an increasingly important role in protecting free expression.  But while copyright restrictions are expanding, so too are fair use protections.  In recent years, key fair use decisions from influential U.S. Courts have paid greater attention to creative freedom, and the significant public benefits that robust fair use protection provides.  

This address will explore the increasingly important role of fair use, its expanding protections, and what these expanding protections mean for content creators. </description>

        <description>The commons is not a new idea, but rather one that has been assisting in the generation of meaning since human beings developed the ability to recognise and replicate signs. 

Erin McKean, the best-dressed lexicographer in the business, explodes the myth of the commons as a digital phenomenon.</description>

        <description>The Boiler Room is a session where all of the Labs get to tell the iSummit community what it is they are about and what they are going to be doing. Think of it as a marketplace, think of it as speakers' corner - it's going to be noisy and birds of a feather... or do they? This will be where you see who is going where - vote with your feet.</description>

        <description>International and regional institutions such as WIPO or the European Commission increasingly constitute the fora where the decision making for the future direction of IPR policies takes place. Whereas global, commons-oriented organizations, such as Creative Commons, are acknowledged as important stakeholders in the process of global IPR policy formation, they have often been absent from the consultation process.
In this session we propose to discuss if and how Creative Commons and its international projects in now over 45 countries of the world should strive towards setting up an internal process of co-ordination and consultation on important IPR-related policy proposals being debated in national and international forums. Furthermore, should this internal process be set up, what structure needs to be created in order for it to effectively advocate its positions at international forums.</description>

        <description>Participants will introduce themselves and their projects and those who wish to hold individual workshops or presentations off-track can "market" them here.  Brief background will be provided on the the Open Education Track 2007 and the results of some initiatives that were begun at that time.  

Following from this, there will be a group brainstorm and data-gathering session to compile participant interests and hoped-for outcomes for this track at the iSummit.

        <description>Discussion will focus on the criteria to be fulfilled by an OER project in order to successfully initiate and implement open education, and how this can be assessed.  The tools necessary for such assessment will be shared and discussed.  Participants will look at how to apply the principles of open education to their projects or organisations, and also begin to compile a checklist of issues which can assist an open educator or the assessment of an open educational resource.</description>

        <description>This session will introduce track participants to the current Local Context Global Commons project, which is a Ford Foundation-funded initiative led by researchers and activists in South Africa, Brazil and India.  The aim of the project is to highlight local commons initiatives and trends. 

Following this, participants will then have the opportunity to present their own local or comparative work and insights that they have had into how the commons relates in particular local contexts through a speed-geeking process.

        <description>As innovative and forward-looking as the Commons is, the real world is still one step ahead. As comprehensively as open content is documented, there are territories of sharing that have yet to be pinned down by lawmakers of any description and it is here where the cutting edge of the Commons has yet to be felt. Who's going to get there first?</description>

        <description>The Commons is one of many social movements  active in the world today. Many of them share characteristics with the Commons, but there are significant differences. What can the Commons learn from other social movements and vice versa? Is there a more effective way of doing things and has someone been doing it for ages without the Commons noticing?</description>

        <description>The potential of digital culture with regards to education is still largely undiscovered. An internet-based, open exchange of knowledge might have considerable impact on how our society perceives and practices education. 

This session will introduce a number of people who, using cc-licenses among other tools, discover and practice new means of education. We will hear talks about their ideas and projects, and a discussion follows on which directions are promising for the future of education.

        <description>Over the last ten years, the Internet has become increasingly a basic infrastructure for our society and thus for a great number of business enterprises. Content distribution online is sometimes coupled with less restrictive licenses and distribution systems for copying, redistribution, and adaptation, giving birth to the term "open business." This session introduces some of the advanced enterprises in the field, and examines the free licenses for businesses, paying attention to business models, choice of distribution systems, how to use (or not to use) free licenses, advantages and risks for open businesses, instructive episodes, among other elements.

People involved: Hiroyuki Itoh (Crypton Future Media), (to be decided) (Nifty), (to be decided) (NTT or NTT Resonant).</description>

        <description>In the democracies of today freedom of expression is often taken for granted when it is particularly fragile. It is a right that needs to be continually exercised, because if it isn't, the space that society provides for it shrinks until the next time someone exercises that right. The communities that subscribe to the ethos of the Commons are important actors in the creation of the space for free expression.</description>

        <description>"Enclosing the Commons &#8211; for Dummies" argues that legal threats issued by SAB Miller and Wiley Publishing to culture jammers Laugh It Off Media and Mail &amp; Guardian Online, respectively, provide important perspectives on democracy and commons enclosure. Both the Wiley "for Dummies" and SAB Miller "Black Labour White Guilt" cases offer insights into corporations' tendencies to employ narrow understandings of IP to protect their own interests &#8211; often at the expense of the public interest. However, we should be wary of reducing both media incidents to 'David and Goliath' struggles. The story of commons enclosure and limitations on free speech is not always as dramatic. Media ownership offers one example of the ways in which democracy is perverted and the South African media landscape is no exception in this regard.</description>

        <description>Many believe that the Internet can play an important role in promoting literacy and education efforts worldwide. It was with that aim that Google, LitCam, and UNESCO's Institute for Lifelong Learning launched The Literacy Project, which provides a platform through which literacy organisations and teachers can connect and share best practices, tools, and information. 

This talk will look at the promotion of best practice sharing through the site, as well as address some of the challenges faced across this field, including Internet connectivity, new media literacy, and cultural and language differences.</description>

        <description>Using video explicitly as a tool to effect social change is a technique often used by governments and corporations, but only recently available to independent activists and NGOs. 

This session will introduce participants to the lessons learned by video activists in producing and disseminating/providing platforms for video for social change. 

Participants will relay their experiences with relevant video projects, discussing questions like: How can we maximize the impact of our video work? How can our production and dissemination strategies increase the impact of the video? How can video activism be financially sustainable? How can open source tools be used in these processes?

        <description>Open business models in the music industry have a strong link to collecting societies. The field is broader than the discussion about collecting societies although at the moment collecting societies are one of the important players.

This session is a panel discussion around the issues at the intersection between the open music business and collecting societies. There have been some significant changes recently in the collecting societies regime and these will be grappled with in this session. At least half of the time in the session will be dedicated to open discussion.</description>

        <description>We will highlight the practical, legal obstacles to educational resources being open.  There are a host of legal issues, in addition to copyright, which arise for open educational practitioners.  

Also included here should be economic issues such as how to commercialise products overseas and facing the perceived issue of "freeloaders", and personal issues: how content creators or curriculum developers should view the issues of derivative works and attribution (or lack thereof)  of their materials

        <description>This session will inspire participants about successes and challenges in community-centric publishing using a variety of case studies including 5 Minutes to Midnight, the CABACA music project, the Pattern Wiki, Connexions, Pratham Books and First Mondays. Participants will also look at what the commons success factors and points of failure were, and how the gaps from the previous two sessions can be related. </description>

        <description>An examination of several case-studies from Amsterdam, Australia and Europe where State-Owned Memory Institutions and government have opened up access to PSI.  Short presentations on the strategies employed in case-studies will lead into a discussion on what key policies and partnerships were in place (nationally/locally) that made this process possible. Participants will then look at these policies and partnerships and work towards developing strategies and plans for countries where this process of opening up and unlocking needs to take place, bearing in mind the unique local barriers and local contexts.

        <description>Hiroaki Kitano is a world-renowned researcher in biological networks and is also well known for being one of inventors of the AIBO robot.

Currently, Mr. Kitano has created a massive project called "Payao" which uses networks to allow a large number of researchers to collaborate and share information about biological networks and systems. In his talk, he will describe the increasingly complex nature of research in his field
and how it would be impossible without sharing between researchers using open source, open networks and open knowledge.

In addition, he will describe how biological networks are in many ways similar to the Internet and other networks in which commons-based peer production occurs.

        <description>This presentation will explore the evolving relationship between Collecting Societies and individual rights management practices as expressed through the use of Creative Commons licenses by musicians and other free culture practitioners. The past three years have seen intensive interactions between Collecting Societies and Creative Commons and over the last year we have seen the emergence of experiments that explore the potential of combining collective rights management and individual rights management.

I will reflect on the history and role of collecting societies, the challenges posed by Creative Commons and other individual rights management practices to the status quo and the models that seek to combine the two.

There are currently two different approaches of combining (NC) CC licensing with collective rights management. In the Netherlands (highly regulated and restrictive) and Denmark (more or less a laisser faire approach). the presentation will describe these approaches and the processes that have lead to them coming into being and explore future scenarios. </description>

        <description>This session will be spent on wrap-up conversations, taking stock of events over the past two days and looking ahead to hoped-for accomplishments in the coming year. There may also be some time for more focused inquiry, depending on the need. This is also the time allotted to preparation of the feedback session from the track.</description>
