The site can not be reached on Februrary 17 at 09:41:21 NOVT 2008.
http://qut.edu.au can be, but I don't find such a statement there.

That is for just 1 and a half months?

I did not ask you to tell me about them, I asked if there would
be an official from an institutions warrant us that they have
achieved it. I happen to know a bit about the Queensland Institute
of Technology, situation, I hold a QUT staff card and know the
repository manager there. But I don't think that it is worth
discussing the situation in one particular institution here.
I am not saying that IRs are not a potentially good development
and I am not saying that they will never work. But I hope that
we can agree that, from today's perspective, filling IRs
until we achieve 100% open access will be a very very long
process.
