For OA, there is nothing more nor less to be recommended to the UNESCO
meeting than precisely what has been recommended by Berlin 3. It requires
only 2 clear, focused, non-ideological sentences:
"1. [all research institutions should] implement a policy to *require*
[all] researchers to deposit a copy of all their published articles
in an open access repository
and
"2. *encourage* researchers to publish their research articles
in open access journals where a suitable journal exists and provide
the support to enable that to happen."

Anything more is simply a waste of time, words, and potential OA.
