A working group of delegates to the ninth meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA-9) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) has endorsed open access. "On improving information management, delegates agreed to promote open access to information as considered appropriate by Parties." (PS: This looks like a snapshot of a work in progress. I'll try to follow the news and report back later.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
