I wrote a thing for @thetransmitter. The attack on scientific infrastructure happening in the US shows that relying on any one country is not a good option for science. We need to start supporting and building international, decentralised infrastructure for science.

Science must step away from nationally managed infrastructure

Scientific data and independence are at risk. We need to work with community-driven services and university libraries to create new multi-country organizations that are resilient to political interference.

Dan, this is very well said, fully agree!
Have you heard about @SafeguardingResearch, an initiative by @lavaeolus and others? This might be of interest. Also, it reminds me of https://www.lockss.org/, and of federated/decentralised approaches my team @tibosl is developing, together with many research projects/institutions worldwide. Let's connect if you are interested in networking with librarians like us who are already up for the challenge.

Some of POSI's suggested economic principles can hardly apply to government funded infrastructure organisations in a country like Germany, but otherwise, yes!

@mattjhodgkinson @Lambo @thetransmitter @SafeguardingResearch @lavaeolus @tibosl POSI principles look great.
