Thank you to those of you who answered the survey or responded by email. So far there have been twelve responses. Ten institutions accepted the offer while two institutions rejected it. In the comments and feedback, four institutions indicated they were not
 impressed with what Elsevier was offering or questioned Elsevier’s motivation. We realise that Elsevier’s proposal is in line with their new strategic direction of focusing on Research Data Management, but we believe that it will benefit our members overall
 in terms increasing awareness and acceptance of Open Access as well as increasing research visibility. So we see it as win-win.  </p>

In addition, some new information has come to light which we would like to discuss with you before responding to Elsevier. We have been advised that we should also push for further conditions:  </p>

SANLiC needs to have a better understanding of the functionality of national and member institution’s Institutional Repositories and whether or not it will be possible to push continent through to these repositories from SARN.  </p>
