News image Hugo Cox, new Secretary, BCC Copyright & Technology Working Group
The Copyright and Technology Working Group has overall responsibility for developing BCC policy, for drafting the majority of BCC consultation responses and position papers and for ensuring that, on every occasion, a proper process is in place for consulting the full BCC and achieving a consensus view.
As Trevor Cook of Bird and Bird takes over as the BCC’s Chairman, he steps down as Secretary of the Working Group, a post he has held since its inception. The BCC is delighted that Hugo Cox of PRS for Music has agreed to take over as Secretary with effect from the June 11th Working Group meeting.
The Working Group meets six times a year. All BCC members are eligible to join the Working Group and it represents a wide range of rights holder interests.
