+###### *Swaraj Paul Baruah, one of the participants addressing some of the copyright-related questions in the Bengaluru meeting*.
+</p>
+
+
+The first **Creative Commons India chapter** (often written as CC-India) restructuring meeting (since the rollout of Creative Commons Global Network - CCGN) was organized by volunteers in Bengaluru, Delhi and [online](https://meet.jit.si/cc-india) on September 1. The primary focus of the meeting was inline with the broader agenda mentioned [here](https://github.com/creativecommons/global-network-strategy/blob/master/docs/Guide_for_creating_a_chapter.md#step-3-convene-the-first-meeting) in the guide for establishing a new chapter i.e. to reach out to multiple stakeholders locally and encourage them to become members of the Creative Commons Global Network and help restructure the CC-India chapter.
+
+21 individuals from Bengaluru and 4 from Delhi participated, and 2 participants joined online. The meeting was a bit longer than 2 hours and the minutes were captured in an [Etherpad](https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/ccindia1).
+
+## Preparation:
+The preparation of the meeting started a little over a month where three volunteers — Savithri Singh, Subhashish Panigrahi and Veethika Mishra — who were the initial CCGN members with guidance from Simeon Oriko, Community Manager at Creative Commons started planning for the first meeting.
+
+Active [social media](https://twitter.com/ofdnorg/status/1027582777388986369) and [media outreach](https://thewire.in/tech/as-creative-commons-restructures-globally-what-should-its-future-in-india-look-like) were made by volunteers to reach out to more people. (*posters and banners designed can be found [here](https://github.com/ofdn/marks/tree/master/CC-India)*) As an effect of this, 120 people signed up to join in the meeting both physically and online. 33% of the participants who signed up represented civil society, 28% represented academia where 14% represented government and public sector organizations.
+
+# Meeting:
+The Centre for Internet and Society (CIS) was the venue for the Bengaluru meeting where Acharya Narendra Dev College was the the venue for Delhi. CIS kindly hosted a social with snacks and 4 staffers participted both from Bengaluru and Delhi (remotely).
+
+## Consensus made and tasklist:
+*Anything not listed below only means that it was not discussed on the Sep. 1 meeting. All the other tasks can be created and managed [here](https://github.com/ofdn/CC-India/issues).*
+* As there are only 9 CCGN members at the moment most agreed that it would be useful for everyone to reach out to more people and grow the member community on CCGN at the moment
+  - [ ] Reachout to more people to grow the CCGN member base from India
+* Once the community reaches critical mass by mid/end October, there can be self-nomination from the members and an online voting can be made to choose the Representative and a Lead
+  - [ ] Asking members to self-nominate and organize an e-ballot-based election to identify the "Representative" and "Lead" in mid/late October
+* Participants in Bengaluru brainstormed about the areas they are interested (see separate section below) to contribute to CC going forward based on their expertise. Most favored the idea of having leaders for each section on a rotational basis though the timeframe for such informal area leaders were not made. The decision is parked for later.
+  - [ ] Keeping the door open to CCGN members and non-members so that more volunteers sign up for different activities (advocacy, outreach, lobbying, OER development apart from communications channel management are some of the discussed tasks by Bengaluru community - *this task includes the point belowe as well*)
+* Some of the organizational works — including content and design for website, managing mailing list, creating and managing a Telegram group — already has interested individuals where everyone showed interest to reach out to more people and help others join CCGN

+# Discussions:
+*  **Question**: Why the previous stuctures failed? (Savithri: *Earlier there were organisations as affiliates. People involved with CC through the organisations, when they left the organisations couldn't continue to contribute as an individual*)
+*  **Challenge**: Explaining to my org. about using CC license is a challenge. How do I address it? (A: *There is over enforcement of copyright which make work almost nonusable. Individuals at times don't know. Showing organizations the real impact.*)
+* **Question**: Are there good examples like the [National Repository of Open Educational Resources](https://nroer.gov.in/welcome) (NROER) project (Subhashish: *There are some like the [Odisha state government](https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/09/18/odisha-social-media-free-license/)'s relicense drive that was initiated by two Wikimedia affiliates — Odia Wikimedians User Group and Centre for Internet and Society's Access to Knowledge program — and Wikimedia Foundation itself. It resulted in relicensing of 7 websites and 8 social media accounts under CC-BY 4.0 license*)
