The US government is placing increased emphasis on making federally-funded research available immediately to the community. The 12-month default exclusive access period for JWST Small and Medium programs is receiving particular attention. In late 2022 and early 2023, following requests from the Space Telescope Users Committee (STUC) and James Webb Space Telescope User Committee (JSTUC), STScI conducted a survey of the HST and JWST user communities to solicit opinions on removing Exclusive Access Periods. STScI has compiled the feedback in a report for the user committees. The present advisory committee is asked to assess the community responses and advise the STScI Director on the approach to take with regard to future reductions in default EAPs to non-zero values. The committee is also being asked to consider mechanisms to preserve recognition for proposal teams in a more open-access environment.
