How did a publisher who did not participate in Group I become a Group II Participating Publisher?
After the initial registration period was over, the Program Administrator calculated the estimated “market-share” distribution for each newly registered publisher and foreign society, and sent each newly registered publisher and foreign society: (1) an estimate of the amount the publisher can expect to receive from the initial distribution of the P&U Royalties that will be distributed by the Program Administrator; and (2) an opt-in form (“Opt-In Enrollment Form”). The deadline date was indicated in the Opt-In Enrollment Form, and was also posted on the website. When a publisher opted in by sending the Opt-In Enrollment Form to the Program Administrator, the publisher then became a Participating Publisher (“Participating Publisher”) under the MOU, and became eligible to receive its share of the accrued Group II P&U Royalties.
