OUR POETRY ARCHIVE (0PA)
Principles
We are building OUR POETRY ARCHIVE (0PA) to bring together like- minded
individuals from all over the world, professionals from diverse horizons –
writers, painters, scientists, teachers, thinkers. What unites us is our
collective will to look at the world we live in using the prism of critical
thought and analysis but also of creativity. We firmly believe that we have an
individual and collective mission to make our society a better place; we have
taken the pledge of do our best to achieve that goal. OUR POETRY ARCHIVE (0PA)
promotes openness and transparency by giving individuals opportunities to share
thoughts and ideas through the prism of poetical creations and connect through creative undertakings, and
certain principles guide OUR POETRY ARCHIVE (0PA) in pursuing these goals. Achieving
these principles should be constrained only by limitations of law, technology,
and evolving social norms. We therefore establish these Principles as the
foundation of the rights and responsibilities of those within the OUR POETRY
ARCHIVE (0PA) Service.
- Freedom to Critique
People should have the freedom to critique the world they inherit and
inhabit, irrespective of social and political connotations and implications,
with the objective of making the world a better environment for them and for
future generations.
- Ownership and
Control of Intellectual Property
People should own their intellectual property (IP), namely their
creative undertakings. They should have the freedom to share it with anyone
they want and take it with them anywhere they want, including removing it from
the OUR POETRY ARCHIVE (0PA) Service. People should have the freedom to decide
with whom they will share their IP, and to exercise privacy controls whenever
available to protect those choices. Those controls, however, are not capable of
limiting how those who have received information may use it, particularly
outside the OUR POETRY ARCHIVE (0PA) Service.
- Fundamental
Equality
Every Person - whether individual, organization, or other entity -
should have representation and access to distribution and information within
the OUR POETRY ARCHIVE (0PA) Service, regardless of the Person's primary
activity. There should be a single set of principles, rights, and
responsibilities that should apply to all People using the OUR POETRY ARCHIVE
(0PA) Service.
- Social Value
People should have the freedom to build trust and reputation through
their creative undertakings, and should not have their presence on the OUR
POETRY ARCHIVE (0PA) Service removed for reasons other than those described in OUR
POETRY ARCHIVE (0PA)'s Statement of Rights and
Responsibilities.
- Fundamental
Service
People should be able to use OUR POETRY ARCHIVE (0PA) for free to
establish a creative presence, connect with others, and share IP with them.
Every Person should be able to use the OUR POETRY ARCHIVE (0PA) Service
regardless of his or her level of participation or contribution.
- Common
Welfare
The rights and responsibilities of OUR POETRY ARCHIVE (0PA) and the
People that use it should be described in a Statement
of Rights and Responsibilities, which should not be inconsistent
with these Principles.
- Transparent
Process
OUR POETRY ARCHIVE (0PA) should publicly make available information
about its purpose, plans, policies, and operations. OUR POETRY ARCHIVE (0PA)
should have a process of notice and comment to provide transparency and
encourage input on amendments to these Principles or to the Rights and
Responsibilities.
The OUR POETRY ARCHIVE (0PA) Service should transcend geographic and
national boundaries and be available to everyone in the world.
