Open Policy Recommendation #1• Pursue "openness" as an operating principle.• Partners give consideration to the adoption and use of all nine open strategies and

tactics across all GFSP activities.

It is recommended that GFSP Partners:– Openly license all GFSP publicly funded deliverables with CC BY 4.0 license (or CC BY IGO

3.0 if IGO)– Develop GFSP deliverables in open file formats that are editable, customizable, and

adaptable to local contexts– Establish a GFSP web site that makes GFSP openly licensed deliverables publicly available

for free.– Engage GFSP global network and public in use, reuse, and continuous improvement of

openly licensed deliverables.– Identify resources they currently have that could contribute to GFSP goals if openly

licensed.– Assess ROI of combining those resources collectively across the partnership and with the

new GFSP deliverables being developed.

Open Policy Recommendation #2• Stimulate innovation in the adoption of open

practices and the creation of new business models through the use of open competitions within specific projects or in general.

• Examples– Grand Challenges for Global Health– XPRIZE– HealthDataPalooza

Existing Open Building Blocks

already in use and their associated outputs• Work with GFSP partners to define open business models

(including show me the money models)• Provide workshops and other assistance for implementation of

open practices• Create a GFSP open competition grand challenge• Select a GFSP project to pilot large scale use of open
