Next week, AGI will host a web conference to facilitate discussion among its Member Societies. The discussion will respond to the recent Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) request for input (RFI) regarding enhancing public access to archived publications from research funded by Federal science and technology agencies. This RFI will likely impact most AGI Member Societies. The initial comment period for the RFI will wrap up on January 7, 2010, and will be followed by a two-week discussion extension.
The AGI Webinar will take place on Wednesday, January 13, 2010, at 1:00 EDT. AGI encourages Member Society members and all elected leadership to join the event. Please register at https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/468062824.
