With the sponsoring I see for this event, my euphemistic feelings is that there
seems to be strong conflicts of interest for the scholar on the program.
Interesting.

If there was any residual doubt as to the degree to which the Finch policy
recommendations are dominated by and oriented toward the needs of the
publishing community and not the needs of the research community, here's an
announcement from Sage publications...

Invitation to important conference on Open Access Publishing, 29 and 30
November
You are invited to a major two-day conference to look at how implementing the
Finch Review on Open Access Publishing will affect researchers and learned
societies in the arts, humanities and social sciences.
Dame Janet Finch will co-chair the event, which takes place at the Royal
Statistical Society, 12 Errol Street, London EC1Y 8LX on 29 and 30 November.
It is sponsored by the Times Higher Education magazine and the publishers
SAGE, Routledge, and Wiley Blackwell,
The Academy of Social Sciences is running the event in the wake of questions
about the switch to open access. Non-science disciplines are unsure there
will be sufficient funding to pay for papers to be published in journals
under the new ‘gold option’ system, and learned societies are concerned that
their journal income will fall.
The first day of the conference is for researchers, both within and outside
of universities, and senior university managers. It looks at the implications
of the review for individual academics, for the 2020 Research Excellence
Framework exercise, and for authors’ rights and intellectual property.
Speakers include: Professor Dame Lynne Brindley, Member of AHRC Council and
former Chief Executive of the British Library; Professor Tim Blackman, Pro
Vice Chancellor, The Open University; Professor Robert Dingwall, who will
bring an independent perspective; Paul Hubbard, Head of Research Policy,
HEFCE; Maureen Duffy, President of Honour, British Copyright Council;
Professor Charlotte Waelde, Professor of Intellectual Property, Law,
University of Exeter; and Jude England, Head of Social Sciences, The British
Library.
The second day is for senior managers of learned societies and is chaired by
Professor Martin Hall, Vice-Chancellor, University of Salford, a member of
the Finch Committee. It looks at the implications of the review for journals
and the business models of learned societies in the UK and US.
It includes a panel discussion on the future of journals with senior managers
at Routledge, SAGE and Wiley Blackwell. Other speakers include Sally Hardy,
Chief Executive of the Regional Studies Association; Professor Stephen
Bailey, Professor of Public Law, University of Nottingham; Dr Rita Gardner,
Director of the Royal Geographical Society; and Dr Felice J Levine, Executive
Director, American Educational Research Association.
