Good news from Wales, forwarded from the OER-Discuss list. There was also
this follow-up statement: "Higher Education Wales (the Welsh branch of
UniversitesUK) have agreed to a common statement of principles which was
signed by the last of the [university Vice Chancellors] yesterday. It
should appear on their website shortly."

Hi all,
I’m glad to be able to announce the work we have been engaged with in Wales
for the last few months.
Today Wales is able to confirm the commitment of all Welsh Higher Education
institutions to the adoption of Open Educational principles to support Open
Education Resources and Open Education Practice:

As you can imagine getting all the nation’s VCs to commit to this has been
a time consuming, but we hope valuable exercise. Now to deliver on the
promise of this collaberation.
Cheers,
Haydn
