UNESCO has issued a press release to preview the Information Commons for e-Science workshop to start in Paris tomorrow. One of the four workshop objectives is to "Identify and analyze institutional, economic, policy, and legal benefits/drawbacks to providing public access to and unrestricted access of publicly funded scientific information."

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.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
