The University of California campuses at Berkeley, Davis, and San
Francisco have announced
(http://news.lib.berkeley.edu/2017/03/20/oa2020/) a commitment to join
the OA2020 movement.

They supplemented the press release with a website that obviously
looks to grow the list of subscribing institutions
(https://oa2020.us/) and a working document
(https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4izHeZn1Z_AYVhjakdkN1B1S0U/view)
going into some detail about the way the institutions see this
evolving.

OA2020 (http://oa2020.org) originates with the Max Planck Digital
Library and looks to "flip" the publishing model in order to get to
large scale open access for scientific and scholarly journals more
rapidly and (to users) transparently than has been possible till now.
