Copyright collectives such as CCC lobby for legislation that in effect directs $ to their members. At least this is the case in Canada where local copyright collectives believe they should have a legal right to demand that blanket licensing be a legal requirement
for all educational institutions and to unilaterally set the price and conditions.</div>

Transparency should be (and generally is) a requirement for any organization that wishes to benefit from public funding. In Ontario, this even applies to individuals. By law, the salary of anyone earning more than $100,000 in a public institution is publicly
disclosed on an annual basis. Universities and government in Canada operate under Access to Information / Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy legislation. Information is open by default, whether published or available by request; non-disclosure
is an option only under very specific, limited circumstances such as when it is necessary to protect the legitimate privacy rights of individuals.</div>

It would be interesting to hear about laws and expectations in other countries if list members have time and knowledge to report. Are organizations in your area allowed to accept $ that comes from public funding and keep this a secret? </div>

If there are good reasons for using CCC to transfer $ to certain publishers then it would be helpful to understand what they are. It would be appropriate to publish the details. If publishers do not wish to disclose this kind of information, refraining from
participation in copyright collectives like CCC and their lobbying efforts is a choice that is available to them, and one that I recommend.</div>

I can think of one good reason for discussing the use of a collective to transfer $ to open access publishers. Commercial downstream users such as Elsevier (Scopus) and other aggregators (e.g. EBSCO) could be required to transfer $ to journals that do not choose
to grant blanket downstream commercial rights. I am not advocating that this happen, rather stating that this should be up for discussion so that everyone involved can have a better understanding of the underlying issues and perhaps come up with better solutions.
This discussion would be most likely to be fruitful if held in public where all parties can follow and participate. </div>
