Growing an Open Movement: Claudio Ruiz on Creative Common’s Global Network

"Earlier this year, Creative Commons publicly launched the CC Global Network, a program designed to provide new and simple ways for anyone in the world to get involved with Creative Commons and the CC community. The Global Network was initiated and developed by members of CC’s international community over a two-year period that included extensive research and consultation, as well as nearly two dozen meetings with CC stakeholders. As we approach this year’s convening of the Creative Commons community — the CC Global Summit (happening in Toronto, Canada from April 13-15) — it seemed like a good time to check in about what’s happening with the Network. Below, CC’s Claudio Ruiz, who has been responsible for guiding the program’s development, discusses how the Network came to be and offers a few thoughts about where things are headed.

Please introduce yourself and describe your role with Creative Commons.
