This is based on my contribution to the new Creative Commons 'Education Platform' discussion of issues related to open educational resources (OERs). How is agreement in the OER community reach (including but not limited to agreement about this set of issues?) The issue here is: should we encourage OER mandates for educational materials, and if so, how? The issue is: how can we (the academic community) support others in the development of OER?

Martin, I don't think these issues are fine-hair splitting. These are not easy issues. They are hard issues, and it is not always clear on what grounds they will be decided. In a strict sense, as Richard Hall said the other day, there are no public and private sectors - it's all a blend, so the issue is really in how to manage that blend. And these issues have eminently practical consequences. And this plays directly into the second issue.
