[Advisory] Berlin 13 Open Access Conference

[Katrine Weisteen Bjerde]

Dear Peter and Kai

Some thoughts from Norway that you probably thought of already! :-)

On "financial aspects of the transformation" of course relevant names are Bo-Christer Björk and/or Mikael Laakso. I do not know whether they would complement the thoughts from Jeffrey Mackie-Mason? 
Maybe someone from France on the new copyright law.
And of course it might be interesting to hear details on how Finland and Holland used local legislation to expose contracts and prices of their agreements.

Regards
Katrine
