Why not try a new kind of open politics?

If groups of funders, such as cOAlition S, coordinated their technical requirements as they have been coordinating their individual mandates, the resulting infrastructure requirements would include FAIR principles, which would lead to a decentralized, interoperable infrastructure under the governance of the scientific community. As this infrastructure is intended to replace current subscription publishing with a platform that integrates text-based narratives with data and code, it would be straightforward for the funders to suggest that an obvious source of funds for the required infrastructure would be subscriptions as most scholarly articles are available without subscriptions anyway and implementing the infrastructure is much cheaper, on average, than subscriptions, the implementation should be possible without disruption and with considerable cost reductions for the institutions.
