Here's an interesting how-to: The U.K.-based Association for Learning Technology has published a guide (.pdf) to changing a journal's business model, including moving it to an open access model. The authors explain their motivations in the abstract:
Hundreds of societies publish journals in collaboration with publishers. Some may be considering how and whether to renegotiate or go out to tender. Some may be considering whether they can/should/wish to change the business model of the journal (e.g. by a move to Open Access). Other societies may be considering using an external publisher for the first time. This guide, based on our experience, is written for all of these.
