Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society has issued a Roadmap for Open ICT Ecosystems (undated but apparently released September 9). It addresses the kind of openness that open-source software, open-access research, and open standards have in common --"a potent combination of connectivity, collaboration, and transparency." However, while it has detailed sections on open-source software and open standards, and a few references to open dissemination of public data, it doesn't seem aware of OA to research literature. (I'm writing a letter.)

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.
