I don't think that the link is pointing to the right press release. It should probably point to https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/updates/scoap3.cfm, which announces that APS will in fact join the SCOAP3 initiative.

(Another telltale sign is the fact that the link refers to Rolf Heuer as the Director General, but in fact he is the former Director General, while the current one is Fabiola Gianotti.)

There are also the scoap3[1] and CERN[2] press releases.
