<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b> </b></p>
<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Liberal
democratic institutions are seen by many citizens as opaque and
elitist, leading to widespread crises of trust and confidence.
An effective response is the adoption of digital commons, which
practically implement democratic principles of transparency,
accountability and participation.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </p>
<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Digital
commons, also called open digital infrastructure, are shared
information and knowledge resources such as open source software
(OSS) and Open Street Map. They are produced and managed for
collective use, and to be modified and redistributed as needed.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </p>
<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">To
help government agencies and employees better understand the
benefits of adopting digital commons in preference to closed
products and services, the Digital Commons Policy Council is
releasing a new stakeholder engagement tool, <i>Enhancing
national digital resilience with digital commons</i>.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </p>
<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This
tool consists of a one-page elevator pitch outlining how
adopting digital commons can enable governments to (1) secure
digital sovereignty, (2) invest in sustainable resources, and
(3) rebuild trust. An online FAQ provides additional information
and examples about these points, as well as information and
examples about (4) procurement and firm support, and (5)
products and services.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </p>
<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The
one-page elevator pitch and FAQ can both be found here:

<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b> </b></p>
<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The
Digital Commons Policy Council is an international think tank
established in 2021 at the University of Canberra, Australia. It
aims to increase the recognition of the benefits of digital
commons such as open source software and Wikipedia, and of the
volunteer labour which produces these common goods. It does so
by producing evidence-based public reports and other resources
and by organising workshops which bring together diverse
stakeholders.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </p>
<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Enhancing
national digital resilience with digital commons was conceived
during the DCPC/CDC 2025 Workshop held on 21-23 May 2025 at the
University of Liverpool\u2019s Civic Health Innovation Labs (CHIL),
UK. The event represented the opportunity for 35 attendees from
around the world to exchange insights about the latest
developments in the digital commons policy and research space.
The gathering drew participants from academia, policy, and civil
society, including representatives from France\u2019s Agence
française de développement and the UK Government\u2019s Digital
Cabinet Office. Attendees also included non-profit organisation
representatives and researchers from Australia, Belgium, Brazil,
China, France, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Uganda and
the United Kingdom, with sponsored delegates from low and
middle-income countries supported by the organisers.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </p>
<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Similarly
to the 2024 DCPC/CIS Policy Lab, the 2025 Workshop used an
\u2018unconference\u2019 format whereby work directions emerged from the
attendees\u2019 deliberations. After discussing issues currently
impacting digital commons development, the general assembly of
participants identified several resources that it would be
useful to have. They then self-selected into separate breakout
groups to collaboratively create these resources via open
documents, with groups reporting at intervals to the general
assembly for feedback.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </p>
<p
style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The
resources are new communication tools for stakeholder
engagement, a taxonomy of digital commons, implementation
mechanisms for digital commons for healthcare policy and
development, and aspirational principles for governments to
support inclusive global digital commons. In a final debrief
session, many participants declared they had found the event\u2019s
positive atmosphere and mix of idealistic and pragmatic outputs
inspiring. Following the Workshop, group members have continued
working to finalise the resources.</p>
