Sebastian and Chuck Jones have now published a response at AWBG: 
http://ancientworldbloggers.blogspot.com/2012/04/aia-and-open-access-response.html

The outcome of the Skype call we had on Monday (available at the bottom 
of the etherpad http://archeo.okfnpad.org/responsetoaia ) was that the 
working group should take a public position supporting those AIA members 
who are not comfortable either with the position stated in Bartman's 
editorial, or with the AIA response to the consultation held in November 
2011 (the two are, roughly speaking, equivalent).

If deemed useful, we could turn our response into a public petition.

Ciao and "buon 25 aprile",
Stefano
