This document discusses the need for open and distributed infrastructure to support scholarly communication. It notes that terms like "framework" and "fabric" are sometimes used to disguise struggles over control of resources and money. The document advocates for infrastructure that is stakeholder-governed, has transparent operations within privacy laws, and aims for financial sustainability through a mix of services, surplus generation, and contingency funds.
