    I recommend this article as an excellent insight into the politics
    affecting open access at a high level. Anyone who has followed the efforts
    of the working group on scientific information to get open access on to the
    agenda of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), and
    explicitly into the Declaration of Principles, can only applaud the
    remarkable progress and persistence shown by Francis Muguet and his
    colleagues, and wish them luck at this week's meeting.
