(openaccess.eprints.org): In October 2008 in ROARMAP, University of Hong Kong proposed to the University Grants Committee (RGC/UGC) an Open Access Mandate for all RGC/UGC-funded research. It is not yet clear whether in the meantime this mandate has actually been adopted, by either HKU or RGC/UGC. It was an Immediate-Deposit mandate, but it seems to have misunderstood the fact that a postprint can be deposited in the Institutional Repository without having to seek "permission" from the publisher.
