<p class="MsoNormal">We had an enquiry about the wording of a letter to invite a member of an institution to sign the Berlin Declaration. We got this from Anja Stober from Max Planck – it might be useful:<o:p></o:p></p>
<div class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center">
<hr size="2" width="100%" align="center">
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">As Ina said we ask all institutions which want to sign to give us the details listed under
<span style="color:#1F497D"><a href="http://www.berlin10.org/call-to-action.html">http://www.berlin10.org/call-to-action.html</a>
</span>but we do not send an official invitation to sign.<br>
<br>
If you are looking for some phrasing for your email or letter to us you might find this helpful:<br>
<br>
"Dear Prof. Gruss,<br>
<br>
Understanding the value of open access to the research community, the University of XXX wishes to become a signatory to the Berlin Declaration.<br>
<br>
Please find below the data for our institution:<br>
<br>
Sign date:<br>
Organisation name:<br>
Organisation type:<br>
Abbreviation:<br>
Person:<br>
Position:<br>
City:<br>
Country:<br>
<br>
<br>
Yours sincerely,<br>
XX"<br>
<br>
<br>
You might of course change the wording or add anything you want (e.g. that you already have a repository or an OA policy in place etc.).<o:p></o:p></p>
