Reduce Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt about Creative Commons and Open licencing
Several submissions have shown concerns that Creative Commons licencing is potentially harmful. While there is work under way to broadly analyse the Intellectual Property barriers to open licencing, a specific statement about the real risks of open licenses to government information (if any) and how to still achieve openness despite them is required.

As this was the first recommendation in my submission to the Taskforce (http://gov2.net.au/submissions/craig-thomler/) I heartily agree.

The New Zealand Draft Open Access and Licensing Framework is a excellent example of how to do this - http://www.e.govt.nz/policy/information-data/nzgoalframework.html
