Patterns of transition
Here’s a little note from me, happening to be the digital assets track curator (in cooperation with @teirdes, who might want to add her own remarks).
We have created a little writeup about how, in managing and maintaining the Digital Commons, we’re caught in the middle between DIY approaches and policy / legislation, with a lot of friction and contradiction involved between the two. I like the Common Libraries project a lot as it fits right into this, umh, conflict, as exemplified by the PPLNs hat you mentioned. Would be great (read: funny and intriguing for the audience even) to have many more practical examples like that 
I agree with @Noemi, reforming traditional institutions must be very hard. But I’m not proposing to stop at describing the challenges. Common Libraries will have a wealth of experiences and tips for aiding such a reform, and I’d propose you could put some focus on your patterns of transition: proven, generalizable ideas that can help transition from traditional to contemporary models, for one library, and maybe for copyright policies as well. (For the pattern format, see the writeup linked above. But don’t focus on the format too much, we’ll get this done while documenting your session.)
Works? Tell us any questions or concerns of course.
