Institutional policies may be one step closer to Stevan's desired goal,
but they are still not 'implementation' - that's when people actually do
it!

The avowed purpose of the international meeting that will be hosted by
Southampton University February 28 - March 1

   "Berlin 3 Open Access: Progress in Implementing the Berlin Declaration
   on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities"
   http://www.eprints.org/berlin3/program.html

is to *implement* the Berlin Declaration, so as to turn it into a concrete
institutional policy which institutions that have signed (and will sign)
the Berlin Declaration can then commit themselves to adopting.
