I recommend this article as an excellent insight into the politics
affecting open access at a high level. Anyone who has followed the efforts
of the working group on scientific information to get open access on to the
agenda of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), and
explicitly into the Declaration of Principles, can only applaud the
remarkable progress and persistence shown by Francis Muguet and his
colleagues, and wish them luck at this week's meeting.
