Understanding the Elsevier Boycott

Hello Dear Readers,

Can someone help me quickly get up to speed on the Elsevier boycott? I’ve had a read through thecostofknowledge.com and even skimmed through Tim Gower’s statement of purpose. What I’m missing is what are the demands of this boycott? I’m delighted to have an excuse to refuse a request for refereeing, but how can my boycott be genuine about this if Elsevier has no way to make things right?
