Thanks, Luis! I am on their mailing lists but did not see that. They

Here are my answers to the first two questions:
What are the knowledge, skills, and abilities you
believe are the most important for the Register of Copyrights?
The ability to present a plan to the Copyright Royalty Judges which
returns the economic incidence of compulsory license distributions to
that which existed and supported the number of new and small artists
and authors prior to the advent of mass consumer copying technology
and subsequent media conglomerate consolidation.
What should be the top three priorities for the
Register of Copyrights?
1. Economic equity for artists and authors in proportion to the
quantity and popularity of their work
2. Prevention of regulatory capture by monied, powerful, and popular
interests contrary to the Constitutional motive of advancing progress
in science and the useful arts
3. Enforce equitable assessment of compulsory license fees from
commercial and for-profit beneficiaries of mass copying technologies
