To draw on international experiences, the competent agency, TIPO, researched copyright collective management regulations and operational practices from around the world as reference for discussions on compiling the "Draft Revision of the Copyright Collective Management Regulations (First Draft)," which was completed in January 2007. In order that both the public and private sectors can grasp the contents and parameters of said first revision draft and give opinions, TIPO held seven separate opinion exchange meetings aimed at intermediary organizations, and rights holder and users, between February 12 and March 14, 2007; the first revision draft was also delivered to the American Chamber of Commerce and other foreign organization to garner their input.
For more detailed and comprehensive revision content and to gather more public recommendations, TIPO held a public hearing for the second revision draft on May 30, and conducted two inter-agency consultation meetings on June 4 and 5 for further opinion exchange. The completed draft is expected to be delivered to the Legislative Yuan at the end of June.
