BISG's Michael Healy to run Google's Books Rights Registry

To:          BISG Members
From:    Dominique Raccah and Andrew Weber, Co-Chairs, Book Industry Study Group
 
Dear Members,
 
The Book Industry Study Group (BISG), the industry's leading trade association for policy, standards and research, has signed an agreement with the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers under which BISG will provide services to support the establishment of the Book Rights Registry (BRR). Under the agreement, BISG executive director Michael Healy will devote about half of his time to BRR issues.  On court approval of the Google Book Search copyright class action settlement, it is expected that Michael will serve as the Book Rights Registry’s first Executive Director. To help facilitate this additional workload, BISG recently named Angela Bole to the newly created position of Deputy Executive Director. The BISG has established a Search Committee to identify candidates to succeed Michael Healy as its next Executive Director if, as expected, he becomes the first Executive Director of the BRR.
 
Best wishes.
 
Dominique Raccah
Andrew Weber
