Hi, Rachael –
I certainly do understand that, and by no means am I asking for the identities of individual attendees. What I’m wondering is whether the group (which, according to the public notice below, included “representatives of libraries, consortia, and author communities”) also included people who allocate funds to libraries—in other words: provosts or other campus officers with similar budget responsibilities.
I’m asking this because the stated goal of the meeting was for attendees to come away with “customized plans for how they will repurpose subscription and other funds within their home organization or community.” Since those funds are allocated to libraries by their host institutions, I’m wondering whether the host institutions themselves are part of the conversation about repurposing them.

Hello, Rick. As part of the registration process, participants expressly elected as to whether or not their names could be shared with other participants. While some participants agreed to share their information with other participants, we (the CP2OA Planning Committee) do not have authorization from them to share that list with non-participants. Thanks for understanding.
Thanks,
Rachael

I couldn’t find a participant list -- were any of the people who allocate funds to libraries present at this meeting?

Participants from across North America converge to move the needle on open access
"Can we move more quickly toward an open access publishing world in which all scholarly literature is free to read? While this may seem like a daunting objective, 125 representatives of libraries, consortia, and author communities throughout North America came
together this week for a two-day working forum to develop action plans for how they might reach this goal.
"The Choosing Pathways to Open Access, or CP2OA, working forum, sponsored by University of California’s Council of University Librarians, convened Oct. 16-17 on the UC Berkeley campus. Participants arrived from more than 80 institutions, nearly 30 states, and
four Canadian provinces. The goal was for everyone to engage in action-focused deliberations about a range of open access, or OA, funding strategies, and leave with their own customized plans for how they will repurpose subscription and other funds within
their home organization or community — and more broadly, through collective efforts, move the OA needle forward."
