Creative Commons is calling for comments on a draft of the CC organizational strategy. The draft asserts that licenses have not been sufficient and issues a call "for a new approach to protect what we have achieved so far and to create the world we want to see—a world where knowledge and culture are equitably shared in ways that serve the public interest." It's not exactly clear what that means, but there are strong hints throughout that it wants to see creators paid more and that it wants to focus on specific ares of "knowledge and culture", and specifically, "education; contemporary creativity; cultural heritage; government and public sector information; open data; academic and scientific research and scholarship." In response, I made a copy of their draft and added a number of comments; you can find my discussion here. You can also provide feedback through their minimal Google form.
