The 10 a.m. meeting — open to members and nonmembers — will be in the same ballroom where seminars are being held.
On the agenda will be an update of the federal lawsuit over new record-keeping regulations, as well as other news and information of interest to Internext attendees and exhibitors.
This week’s preliminary injunction hearing in Free Speech Coalition vs. Alberto Gonzales held in U.S. District Court in Denver was “a significant milestone in the FSC challenge to this unlawful attempt by the government to chill protected speech,” FSC Board Chair and attorney Jeffrey J. Douglas said.
A ruling in the case is expected within the month.
“We are proud to note that our dazzling legal team presented its case passionately and persuasively, and as a result we have every hope to believe that, at the very least, the secondary producer provisions of the 2257 regulations will be enjoined by Judge Miller, and at best, that we will succeed in obtaining an injunction of the entire regulatory scheme," Douglas said.
FSC Executive Director Michelle L. Freridge also praised the nonprofit’s legal team. “The entire industry is in their debt,” she said.
“I couldn’t be more proud of how focused and effective this team has been over the past month,” Freridge said. “With so little time to prepare and so much to do, they got it done and did a brilliant job too.”
