A colleague pointed us to this STM-led initiative:

And I found the recent presentation given at a recent CNI meeting:

The project is positively explained in the above sources.  Basically,
it's an effort to move away from IP authentication to more
sophisticated methods, which might help the user and also improve
publisher controls vis a vis published content.  Perhaps it might
reduce the SciHub (and like) problem?

I'd be interested in liblicense-l list members' comments on the pros
and cons of such an initiative and approach.  It would be most useful,
as this seems very important, and I'm guessing many of us feel
under-informed at this early stage.

Anyone on this list part of the pilots?

Thank you, Ann Okerson
