ECHOES, the platform project for the Cultural Heritage Cloud initiative, is currently developing a governance model to implement its vision for a Cultural Heritage Digital Commons. This first policy brief reflects on discussions and ideas exchanged during two public policy events held in Brussels in 2024 and 2026. To implement its vision, promote its values, and have a transformative effect on the field, future Cloud governance will need to successfully integrate multiple levels of cultural and digital governance, following the principle of subsidiarity; provide a platform for open participation by diverse stakeholders, and anticipate the field's evolution. To do that, the Cloud should promote open norms, motivate their adoption by the community through user-driven approaches, and always ground them in shared values. The Digital Commons approach to governance provides value to stakeholders, empowers communities, increases resilience, and can support digital and cultural sovereignty within open science and open data paradigms.
