For OA, there is nothing more nor less to be recommended to the UNESCO meeting than precisely what has been recommended by Berlin 3. It requires only 2 clear, focused, non-ideological sentences: "1. [all research institutions should] implement a policy to *require* [all] researchers to deposit a copy of all their published articles in an open access repository and "2. *encourage* researchers to publish their research articles in open access journals where a suitable journal exists and provide the support to enable that to happen." http://www.eprints.org/berlin3/outcomes.html Anything more is simply a waste of time, words, and potential OA.
