Now, if only the funders mandated publication in these journals. Not suggested or supported or funded, but mandated: that all reports funded by the grant are to be published there. May they find the strength to do the right thing.

@albertcardona@mathstodon.xyz This would be nice, but there are problems that some funders like to use to defend their inaction. For instance, in Germany, the DFG claims that academic freedom includes the choice of publishing venue. So if they mandated ORE, they would violate the German constitution. In fact, a slightly related case has been in front of the Germany constitutional court for some years now (but nobody knows when they will take it up). So this may work in some countries but not everywhere.
