Oh, absolutely. This discussion has come up repeatedly. Open Science is the
term actually used in Europe as for "Open Research". This has been
clarified several times, but people easily forget it. Anyways, we do use
"open research" in the opening paragraph, but I decided to keep using Open
Science too, as that is the terminology used at a EU (read: cOAlition S)
level.

Good catch. Yes, very familiar with it, but actually forgot to mention that.

After the meeting Thursday 31 January I realized that is was mostly people
complaining about Plan S, and I decided in the weekend after that how
essential it was to also let the Open Science community speak. Of course, I
was very late to the party too.

But that is why I leave the form open. The process to evaluate all the
feedback is expected to take at least 2-3 months, so opportunity enough for
us to reach 200 signatures (or more :).
