Well, I think we should solve this once and for all situations. It does 
not matter if it's on the website or somewhere else. 

I personally like the IPR note of the Community Grants Programme
very much:

"""
Please Note: Intellectual Property Rights

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), if any, arising from the project
funded under this Initiative or otherwise by the Internet Society will
reside in a 'commons' area for the unrestricted use, benefit and welfare
of Internet users worldwide. If such an arrangement is not feasible then
Internet Society (including all its past and present members, Chapters,
officers, trustees, volunteers and employees) will not have less than a
free, perpetual and irrevocable license to use, develop, distribute and
exploit all such IPR as and how it/they so desire.

"""The project leader(s) must agree to share the knowledge, experience and
outcomes with the Internet Society community at large and must indicate
how it plans to do so. """

Rquired attribution:

"""
The project leader(s) and participants must agree to give the Internet
Society credit as follows when making public statements about the
project - "This project was funded in part by a grant from the Internet
Society.
"""

Attribution should probably not be mandatory for public opinions and 
statements.

I wonder if there is any already-drafted license suitable for the outreach
and public policy publications meant for re-use by other stakeholders.
