[GOAL] [SCHOLCOMM] Beyond open access - towards a sustainable knowledge commons

[Vika Zafrin]

Dear Kathleen and all,

This is tremendous work! Thank you for sharing it.

Two other recent works come to mind, that might be interesting and 
relevant: Kathleen Fitzpatrick's blog post "The Commons and the Common 
Good," 
<http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/the-commons-and-the-common-good/>  
and Dan Cohen's recent talk "From Open Access to Maximal Access" 
<http://sites.bu.edu/humanitiesforums/dan-cohen/> (the latter is 
currently available in audio only).

The five prerequisites made available by COAR are beautifully, concisely 
articulated, and I know we'll be using them in our work here at BU.

-Vika
