On Friday, June 19th, the ACM passed the following resolution:

Council adopts the goal of opening the Digital Library within five years given that this can be achieved in a way that is sustainable for ACM and with the understanding that this may take longer due to the impact of COVID-19.  Reports on the progress of achieving this goal will be provided to the Executive Committee and Council.

Obviously that leaves more wiggle room than we would like, but it looks like the ACM fully intends to meet our demands.

Thanks for all your efforts and keep fighting for Open Access everywhere!

Yours,

Jonathan Aldritch, Ganesh Sittampalam and Robert Rand
