    * Signatory nations should put an open-access condition on publicly-funded
    research grants.  By accepting a grant, the grantee agrees to provide open
    access (OA) to any publications that result from the funded research.

This would be a step forward from the status quo, but it is a weaker
measure than what I proposed a few days ago.
