&amp;lt;!-- ** Providing OA is a primary way of promoting OA.  However, many organizations provide OA and the purpose of this list is to identify the smaller number of organizations that promote OA in other ways. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please annotate organizations with the location of their headquarters, the nations or regions in which they work, the sorts of advocacy in which they engage, and their launch date.&lt;br /&gt;
** If organizations have notable OA advocacy projects, please list them under the organizations rather than as separate entries.&lt;br /&gt;

* This is a list of organizations which make OA advocacy a significant part of their mission.  For this purpose, advocacy goes beyond ''providing'' OA to other forms of ''promoting'' OA.  &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- ** Providing OA is a primary way of promoting OA.  However, many organizations provide OA and the purpose of this list is to identify the smaller number of organizations that promote OA in other ways. --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please annotate organizations with the location of their headquarters, the nations or regions in which they work, the sorts of advocacy in which they engage, and their launch date.&lt;br /&gt;
** If organizations have notable OA advocacy projects, please list them under the organizations rather than as separate entries.&lt;br /&gt;
