A White House Invitation

The December 11th issue of Open Access News has an item about an invitation from the Obama administration's Office of Science & Technology Policy for the public and "various stakeholders" to submit answers to questions about an open access policy for scholarly articles based on federally funded research. The first phase of the discussion will focus on two questions:
  • Who should enact public access policies?
  • How should a public access policy be designed?
The article closes with the following: "We welcome your thoughtful comments in this open and participatory forum." The OSTP blog's web address is http://blog.ostp.gov/.
