On Thursday, I hosted a delegation of four senior people from New Zealand who were visiting Australia with a view to drawing up an OA implementation policy for New Zealand. The plan is to do a whole of country approach, covering research from the universities, the Crown research institutes, polytechnics and other sources of research. The working party will write its report shortly after its Australian visit, when it visited Queensland, the national capital Canberra, Tasmania and Australia in a week-long visit.
I understand that New Zealand has recently signed the Berlin Declaration on behalf of all NZ universities. Now they are about to implement it. Arthur Arthur Sale 127 Tranmere Road, Howrah, Tasmania 7018, AUSTRALIA Phone (03) 6247 1331 (International replace '(03)' by '+61-3-') or Mobile 04 1947 1331
