[imc-uk-emergency] MIR open publishing model

[ionnek]

sb, thanks for this clarification!
agree that we as a network need to work on our position on open publishing 
models, agree that this shouldn't stop the migration to mir.

I'd interpret the discussion on irc plus follow up emails as a consensus of 
those involved to implement the "moderation afterwards" model now, and to 
consider it as a test-setup to be reevaluated in a network meeting. This 
consensus is based on the preferences of imc sheffield, imc oxford and imc 
london, and includes your call for more discussion (which I strongly 
support!). It would be desirable to hear what other collectives think, and 
if they support that proposal - i.e. to find more than this "silent 
consensus" -  those who don't express reservations agree.
but I guess we have to send a summary of what was discussed first.
Pragmatically, I don't want to interrupt the flow of the tech work now. I 
feel assured that the techs are up for putting work in post launch changes.
And last not least, I'd like to say that I'm really happy about the way we 
are proceeding - at least every move and technical progress is being 
described on email or twiki, and although it takes time to get one's head 
around what's happening and put all the information together, at least it's 
possible.
so thanks!
Ionnek
