The presentations from the ICSTI Technical Meeting: Economic Models for Scientific Information, Production and Distribution (Paris, January 15-16, 2004) are now online. However, they will only be freely accessible to non-members, at least on the ICSTI site, until February 12. All six are explicitly about OA, some pro and some con. (PS: If you visit and view them now, the PPT slides will stay on your hard drive past February 12.) (Thanks to Jill O'Neill.)
Update. I just learned that the conference organizers have posted a brief summary of the issues raised at the meeting.

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.
