How does a publisher who did not participate in Group I become a Group II Participating Publisher?
After the initial registration period is over, the Program Administrator will calculate the estimated “market-share” distribution for each newly registered publisher and foreign society, and will send 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 will be indicated in the Opt-In Enrollment Form and will also be posted on the website. When a publisher opts in by sending the Opt-In Enrollment Form to the Program Administrator, the publisher then becomes a Participating Publisher (“Participating Publisher”) under the MOU, and will be eligible to receive its share of the accrued Group II P&U Royalties.
