Perhaps you're right that one should duck out after over a decade and a half of abject failure. But call it blood-mindedness or overconfidence in the Law of the Excluded Middle, I'm still prepared to duke it out for a few years more. More seriously: I am now pinning my hopes on EOS (EnablingOpenScholarship http://www.openscholarship.org/ ), founded by Alma Swan and Bernard Rentier, which will become a legal entity in September http://www2.frs-fnrs.be/open-access/ and will then be providing OA policy guidance to universities worldwide, with the help of most of the major contributors to OA to date: http://www.openscholarship.org/jcms/c_6095/people Stay tuned...
