[Irtalk] Open and Shut?: Where is the Open Access Foundation?

The fact is that OA advocates have failed to claim ownership of their own
movement; and they have failed to do so out of fear that they might unleash
a wave of self-destructive infighting (as if infighting didn’t already take
place). But unless they do so soon they risk the greater danger that
opponents and foot-draggers will appropriate the movement, and emasculate
it in the process.

*Right now what the OA movement needs more than anything else is greater
clarity, and a unified response to those who are trying to subvert it. But
where is the Open Access Foundation that can provide this?*
