Last month we introduced the <\/span>CC Chapter in Italy to you<\/span><\/a>! This month we\u2019re traveling north to the CC Chapter in <\/span>The Netherlands<\/span><\/a>! The<\/span> Creative Commons Global Network<\/span><\/a> (CCGN) consists of 43 CC Country Chapters spread across the globe. They\u2019re the home for a community of advocates, activists, educators, artists, lawyers, and users who share CC\u2019s vision and values. They implement and strengthen open access policies, copyright reform, open education, and open culture in the communities in which they live.<\/span><\/p>\n

To help showcase their work, we\u2019re excited to continue our blog series and social media initiative: <\/span>CC Network Fridays<\/b><\/a>. At least one Friday a month, we\u2019ll travel around the world through our blog and on Twitter (using<\/span> #CCNetworkFridays<\/b><\/a>) to a different CC Chapter, introducing their teams, discussing their work, and celebrating their commitment to open!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next up is CC Netherlands!<\/b><\/h3>\n

The CC Dutch Chapter was formed in September 2018. Its Chapter Lead is <\/span>Maarten Zeinstra<\/span><\/a> and its representative to the CC Global Network Council is <\/span>Lisette Kalshoven<\/span><\/a>. Since the beginning, the Chapter has been involved in promoting and supporting openly licensed music, open GLAM, open education but over the last year, in particular, it has enhanced its activities covering almost all<\/span> CCGN Platforms<\/span><\/a>. To learn more about their work, we reached out to CC Netherlands to ask a few questions. They responded in both English and <\/span>Dutch<\/span><\/i>!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CC: What open movement work is your Chapter actively involved in? What would you like to achieve with your work?<\/b><\/p>\n

CC Netherlands:<\/b> We like to work together with the whole open sector. Open Licenses are awesome, but even more so when applied to sectors that really benefit knowledge creation and sharing. That\u2019s why we have members from diverse backgrounds. You can see all Open Netherland members <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. Are you a person living in the Netherlands? <\/span>Join us<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

CC: Op welke open thema\u2019s is jullie chapter actief? Wat zouden jullie graag willen bereiken?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

CC Nederland: Wij werken graag samen met de hele open sector. Open licenties zijn fantastisch, nog meer als ze daadwerkelijk gebruikt worden door de sectoren die kennis cree\u00ebren en delen. Daarom hebben we leden van diverse sectoren. Op onze site <\/span><\/i>kun je zien wie er allemaal lid is<\/span><\/i><\/a> van Open Nederland. Woon je ook <\/span><\/i>in Nederland! <\/span>Sluit je dan aan!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

CC: What exciting project has your Chapter engaged in recently?<\/b><\/p>\n

CC Netherlands:<\/b> We are worried about the implementation of the DSM directive in Dutch copyright law. Exceptions and limitations are paramount in a working copyright system, and automatic filtering threatens those. We have been active in working towards a positive implementation of the <\/span>new \u2018Copyright Directive\u2019<\/span><\/a> (#DSM) – informing government and parliament on the importance of open knowledge, licenses and broad implementation of exceptions and limitations.<\/span><\/p>\n

CC: Wat is een project waar jullie chapter recent aan gewerkt heeft?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

CC Nederland: Wij maken ons zorgen over de manier waarop de Europese richtlijn voor auteursrechten in Nederland wordt ge\u00efmplementeerd. Uitzonderingen en beperkingen op het auteursrecht zijn belangrijk voor een goed werkend stelsel. Automatische filters zijn hier een bedreiging voor. De afgelopen tijd hebben we ons ingezet om de implementatie <\/span><\/i>positief te be\u00efnvloeden<\/span><\/i><\/a>, o.a. door de overheid en het parlement te informeren over het belang van open kennis, licenties en een juiste implementatie van de uitzonderingen en beperkingen.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
