David Dickson, ICSU defends 'universal and equitable' access to data, SciDev.Net, December 12, 2003. In an address to the WSIS meeting in Geneva, ICSU president Jane Lubchenco argued for "universal and equitable access" to scientific information. She did not mention "open access". (PS: Why?) The ICSU web site makes available the text and video of Lubchenco's presentation.

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.
