Laurent Romary has been appointed the director of research dissemination for France's Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). Since the CNRS is committed to OA, this makes Romary the OA officer for a major national research organization. For more details, see the press release --in French with Stevan Harnad's English translation and annotation. (PS: Romary will be speaking about OA at the upcoming Berlin3 Open Access conference.)
