I have been speaking to the Office of the IC about this. They are holding a
small-scale workshop next week with reps. from orgs. first affected and
there is to be a period of open consultation starting in April for 3 months.
There should be a paper on their site later this week with more detail on
publication schemes and preparing for implementation. Advice to start with
is to look at what we already publish, what other information we hold and
what else we could make available. Care should be taken over 'classes' of
information because of the implication that everything within a class will
be acessible.
I reported on the formation of a group of HEI practitioners to look at
establishing a common approach to this (and perhaps influence a sector
scheme for approval) and agreed to keep them informed of our progress
(starting with the March meeting being organised)
