You may be interested in a new guest post
<https://oaspa.org/guest-post-the-fully-oa-agreement-an-essential-component-of-a-diverse-open-access-world/>
on the OASPA blog by the *OASPA Fully OA Journal Publishers Interest Group.*

The post calls for a greater focus on “Fully OA” publishing agreements and
argues that while much time and energy is devoted to Transformative
Agreements and transforming subscription models, a balanced approach
whereby institutions also partner with fully OA publishers to fulfill their
open research strategies and serve the needs of their research and teaching
communities is optimal. It contains a list of the benefits of fully OA
agreements and a Call to Action.

<https://oaspa.org/the-oaspa-blog-a-platform-for-open-access-discussions/>*
outlining our wish for the OASPA Blog to be a platform for open access
discussions fostering a transparent exchange of views, experiences and
ideas between all those working in the open access ecosystem to ultimately
further our mission to advance open access and ensure a diverse, vibrant,
and healthy open access community.*


Best wishes,
Bernie
