Sixteen representatives of the ABC’s General Committee have continued to commit to weekly Wednesday meetings that commenced on November 10. High on the agenda is a review and ongoing enhancement of the ABC’s Rules and Guidelines governing the definitions and reporting of Average Net Paid Sales.

ABC’s Digital Publishing Sub-Committee has also been reconvened to investigate how to best incorporate digital versions sold through tablet devices such as Apple’s iPad, and Google’s Android. The sub-committee is also meeting weekly every Wednesday. Any outcomes which affect ABC’s Rules will be reported into the Rule Review Sub-Committee.

Paul Dovas, ABC CEO reported “Both sub-committees had made great progress but have a while to go before announcing any initiatives. It is a delicate process and one we are committed to getting right.”

The General Committee will be updated with progress reports in the coming months, and will meet to endorse proposed changes before going to a vote by members.
