This wiki supports the drafting of a Convention on Knowledge Commons, which itself is an institutional knowledge commons component, as explained elsewhere by referring to some application cases.

This convention has the following main objectives:

1. to articulate and make globally visible which knowledge is in the public domain;
2. to ensure globally a maximal provision of knowledge commons;
3. to enact services to localize knowledge commons as part of projects and programmes aiming for sustainable development.

The Convention on Knowledge Commons will become an international contractual instrument through which the signatories publicly commit to knowledge conversion practices that respect the inviolability of the knowledge commons.

Drafting by an Ad Hoc Group

The drafting of the Convention is prepared by an Ad Hoc Group of Volunteers and Experts.

The members of this Ad Hoc Group are listed on Member page.

If you are committed to the cause of open and inviolable knowledge commons, and if your input can accelerate the drafting progress and/or the advocacy for enacting the convention, then you are Invited to Join the Ad Hoc Group and this wiki, as this wiki will be the main instrument in the convention drafting work.

Forum also for Non-member Input

Non members can express their viewpoints on the draft convention by using the Forum, and they can see how their inputs influence the articles of the draft convention.

Alongside this wiki which focusses on understanding and, where possible improving, the texts of the agreements, there is a linkedin group Convention on Knowledge Commons where relevant news is bundled, and its pertinence to the convention draft texts is commented upon.

Any linkedin member can join the Convention on Knowledge Commons.
