[Rdap] NSF open access announcement

[Margaret E Henderson]

For those of you not on Twitter following the #OSTPResp thread, you might
want to check out the Google Doc where we are crowd sourcing the OSTP memo
plans as they come it. http://bit.ly/FedOASummary

You'll find columns covering data and articles - and of course a data
dictionary. Thanks to Kristen Briney for setting it up, and thanks to all
the contributors.
