ICMP/CIEM’s constituent members are the 29 national music publishers’ associations active in Europe and the eight associations active worldwide. Through these national associations,ICMP/CIEM represents music publishers globally. ICMP/CIEM’s mission is to increase the level of copyright protection internationally, strengthen the position of music publishers in the negotiation of licensing terms for their works, improve efficiency in works management, create an industry forum for discussion and consolidation of global positions, and represent industry positions at international, regional and local levels. ICMP/CIEM’s Board is elected by the national associations and appoints internal and external committees to carry out international and regional actions to support copyright and to address industry issues. Because of the way the committees are structured, ICMP/CIEM maintains direct relations with companies which are the most representative of music publishing. ICMP/CIEM’s secretariat is responsible for international, European, regional and local coordination. ICMP/CIEM 6 Rue deBourg 1002 Lausanne, Switzerland E-mail: 101374.25@compuserve.com Website: www.icmp-ciem.org THE INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT COALITION (ICC) ICC was established in 1992 by the NMPA as a forum for international music licensing organizations to exchange ideas and information on audio home recording and digital delivery. It is now a collation with twenty-one members operating in more than 80 countries and is chaired by Edward P. Murphy, President and CEO of NMPA. ICC C/O NMPA 475 Park Avenue South New York, NY 10016 Tel: (646) 742-1651 Fax: (646) 742-1779 THE INTERNATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ALLIANCE (IIPA) This umbrella organization of eight trade associations was founded in 1984. It represents over 1,100 copyrightbased companies in the motion picture, video game, book and music publishing, computer software and recording industries. IIPA was organized to stimulate and augment U.S. government trade policy and actions against international piracy, and to persuade foreign governments to take positive action against copyright, patent and trademark infringement.Among its many activities, IIPA publishes an annual report of “special 301” recommendations to the U.S.Trade Representative’s (USTR) office in support of the Administration’s efforts to require adequate and effective copyright protection, and sufficient market access in foreign territories for U.S. works and companies, as a condition of maintaining favorable trade relations with the United States. As IIPA also produces a report, Copyright Industries in the U.S.Economy,whose most recent edition reported that in 2001, the copyright industries generated more foreign sales and export revenues than any other industry sector in the United States ($89 billion), employed close to 5 million American workers in 2001 (3.5% of the U.S. workforce),and added $535 billion to the U.S.Gross Domestic Product (5.24% of GDP).

HFA is a full voting member of BIEM and NMPA President and CEO Edward P.Murphy is a member of its Management Committee. BIEM is responsible for negotiating with the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) the terms of a general licensing system for the reproduction of musical works on sound recordings. The licensing arrangements are then administered, where applicable, by BIEM’s member organizations in their respective territories. 42
APPENDIX B Much of BIEM’s agenda depends on negotiations for the renewal of the BIEM/IFPI Standard Phonogram Agreement, which the two organizations negotiate about once every four or five years. The Standard Agreement assures its signatories that their repertoire will be used under the same general terms and conditions in all of the territories where it is in effect, thus forming the basis of reciprocal agreements between societies. BIEM members are also exploring the implications of the digital exploitation of musical works, as well as the administration of so-called multimedia rights in certain new technologies.

On October 22, 2001, the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) announced the ratification of the International Standard Musical Works Code (ISWC) as the unique standard for the worldwide identification of musical works—the result of an effort led by CISAC since the end of 1994.

WIPO’s origins reflect the international community’s long-standing concern about protection of intellectual property rights. In the 1880s, when the Paris and Berne Conventions were adopted, provision was made for an international bureau to protect literary and artistic works.WIPO,the modern incarnation of this bureau,was established in 1967 to coordinate inter-governmental cooperation in the field of intellectual property. In December 2002,the International Music Managers Forum (IMMF), representing 11 national Music Managers Forum (MMF) groups, got involved as a nongovernmental organization, alongside such other bodies as IFPI, the International Federation of Musicians, and international authors association CISAC, in the work of WIPO’s Copyright Law division. Since 1992, NMPA has participated in the Committees of Experts meetings convened by WIPO, to consider a Possible Protocol to the Berne Convention and a Possible New Instrument for the Rights of Performers and Producers of Phonograms,as well as the Diplomatic Conference in December 1996,which resulted in the adoption of the WIPO Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Programs Treaty.
