Re: [libraries] Open Access EU consultation

Hi Aubrey, thanks for the invitation. I had indeed planned to set up a document to facilitate collaborative drafting of a response. So far, I have seen the Open Knowledge Foundation, the Euroscience Working Group on Open Access as well as Eurodoc signaling an interest in drafting a response, and doing it all together - perhaps with an individual comment per organization - could be worth a try. The questionnaire comes in three variants - for citizens, organisations and public bodies - and the session to fill it in is time-limited, so we will have to set up an editable copy somewhere. The Commission provided a PDF ( http://ec.europa.eu/research/consultations/scientific_information/questionn… ) whose text cannot be copied, and I inquired with them on July 16 to provide another version of the file. My submission was "forwarded to the technical unit" two days later but no reaction since - I just dropped them a line again. To get things started, I just set up http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/RCom/OA/EU . Please chime in there. Thanks and cheers, Daniel On Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 11:49 AM, Andrea Zanni <zanni.andrea84(a)gmail.com> wrote:
