The name of the list suggests that subscribers may be interested in
the current international OA licence negotiations. Therefore we take
the liberty to refer to a scenario analysis that has been written by
Maurits van der Graaf and me as a sequel to the renowned white paper
published by the Max Planck Society in the spring of 2015. It may be
found at:

We think that our analysis is spot on as it addresses the two topical
scenario's (author market and institutional market) on how to proceed
from the recent OA licenses to a full-blown open access world in 2020
or pretty soon thereafter, and which are currently under discussion in
the Netherlands and elsewhere. We are highly interested in comments of
yours and others, on or off the list. Specifically, we solicit your
opinion on which of the two scenarios would fit best. Or do you
foresee other ones? We are intending to incorporate these views in a
follow up paper later this year.
