In my newsletter article yesterday on the OA mandate at the NIH, I pointed out six policy details on which Congress was silent and on which the NIH will be free to follow its discretion.
In a blog post in response, Gavin Baker takes up all six and offers predictions on what NIH will do and suggestions on what it ought to do.

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.
