6. Proposal for discussion - That <strong>CARL</strong> recommend to CRKN to allocate specific funds to<br />
support Open Access.<br />
CRKN plays a role in helping to transform scholarly communication; what else should it do to<br />
support Open Access? Motion: recommend to Board, that it encourage CRKN to explore<br />
opportunities to support OA. Motion Passed.<br />
There has to be a revenue stream to support OA; we have to choose to support certain products<br />
over others that do provide OA.<br />
7. Congress 2010 in Montreal<br />
One of the themes of Congress this year is open access. There are three separate sessions<br />
planned: (1) a keynote by Robert Darnton, (2) a panel of OA journal business models by CALJ,<br />
and (3) a panel about the benefits of OA in the developing world. <strong>CARL</strong> is being asked to sponsor<br />
the third event. Leslie Chan will moderate the panel and the speakers will be developing world<br />
researchers who can articulate the potential impact of OA on their work.<br />
Theme “Connected Understanding”<br />
Congress and Concordia are looking for sponsorship – they need 9000, and have already<br />
received 3000 from an anonymous donor. Some in-kind support is needed to organize the panel<br />
– contacting speakers and organizing their travel and accommodations. This is the biggest<br />
audience to promote OA to in Canada. Concordia Staff could handle travel arrangements, <strong>CARL</strong><br />
can help identify speakers.<br />
The Committee recommends that the Board go ahead with sponsoring this.<br />
