INTRODUCED WITH BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, AICOA WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE BREAK UP OF LEADING AMERICAN DIGITAL SERVICES INCLUDING CCIA MEMBER COMPANIES. PASSAGE OF AICOA WOULD HARM AMERICAN INNOVATION, ADVANCE CHINA IN THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR, AND BREAK AMERICAN PRODUCTS AND COMPANIES LOVED BY CONSUMERS. THE ASSOCIATION CONDUCTED AN EXTENSIVE DIRECT ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN, PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMUNICATIONS, AND CITIZEN EDUCATION EFFORTS ABOUT THE DANGEROUS COMPONENTS OF AICOA. THE ASSOCIATION ALSO CONDUCTED DISCUSSIONS AND ADVOCACY WITH LAWMAKERS AND KEY STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING BY ORGANIZING AN INDUSTRY COALITION LETTER, A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS INCLUDING ECONOMIC ANALYSIS, AND HOSTED A FULL DAY EVENT THAT FEATURED SIGNIFICANT DISCUSSION OF AICOA. THE ASSOCIATION'S EFFORTS WERE REFERENCED DURING OPEN COMMITTEE HEARINGS, AND WERE CITED AS WHY FEWER SENATORS CO-SPONSORED AICOA DURING THE 118TH CONGRESS. THE ASSOCIATION SERVED AS CO-PLAINTIFF IN TWO FEDERAL LAWSUITS, FLORIDA SB 7072 AND TEXAS HB 20. THE LAWSUITS WOULD FORCE DIGITAL SERVICE COMPANIES TO DISPLAY THIRD-PARTY CONTENT AND MAKE REGULAR DISCLOSURES OF THEIR CONTENT MANAGEMENT POLICIES, PRACTICE, AND INSTANCES OF USE. THE LAWSUITS WOULD PREVENT DIGITAL SERVICES FROM EXERCISING THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHAT, WHEN, AND HOW TO DISPLAY CONTENT. IN MAY THE US COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT FOUND THAT SEVERAL PARTS OF SB 7072 "UNCONSTITUTIONALLY BURDEN" FREE SPEECH, AFFIRMING A FLORIDA FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT'S DECISION TO BLOCK SB 7072 FINDING THAT IT INFRINGES DIGITAL SERVICES' FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. ALSO IN MAY, THE ASSOCIATION FILED A PETITION FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF WITH THE US SUPREME COURT TO STOP A DECISION BY THE US COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT TO REVERSE A LOWER COURT'S DECISION TO ENJOIN MOST OF HB 20 BASED ON SIMILAR FIRST AMENDMENT CONCERNS. THE COURT GRANTED THAT RELIEF. THE ASSOCIATION'S EFFORTS STOPPED THE "MUST CARRY' STATUTES FROM BECOMING EFFECTIVE, AND IS TAKING THESE CHALLENGES TO THE SUPREME COURT. THE ASSOCIATION IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF INDUSTRY OPPOSITION TO A LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL IN THE EUROPEAN UNION AIMED AT FORCING LARGE TECH COMPANIES TO CONTRIBUTE EUR 20B ANNUALLY TOWARD NETWORK INVESTMENTS. THE ASSOCIATION SPOKE AT MULTIPLE STAKEHOLDER EVENTS; MET WITH SENIOR EU LAWMAKERS, REGULATORS, AND NATIONAL OFFICIALS; COMMISSIONED NUMEROUS STUDIES, INCLUDING AN ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF TECH COMPANIES' INVESTMENT ON THE ECONOMICS OF BROADBAND ISPs AND A REPORT DETAILING HOW AN INTERNET TRAFFIC TAX WOULD HARM EUROPE'S DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION; ORGANIZED EVENTS AROUND THE LAUNCH OF SAID STUDIES AND ADDITIONAL SUBSTANTIVE EVENTS; AND EXECUTED MEDIA CAMPAIGNS. AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THESE EFFORTS, FORMAL LEGISLATION HAS NOT YET BEEN PROPOSED. 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 32 0 1 30 1 1 1 1 BE 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X X MERRILL ALDHIZER 2027830070 25 MASSACHUSETTS AVE NW STE 300C WASHINGTON DC 20001 MATTHEW C SCHRUERS PRESIDENT 40 0 X X 449134 0 48199 STEPHANIE JOYCE SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF OF STAFF 40 0 X 235000 0 8875 JOSHUA S LANDAU PATENT COUNSEL 40 0 X 195054 0 32767 KRISZTIAN KATONA VICE PRESIDENT OF GLOBAL COMPETITION AND REGULATORY POLICY 40 0 X 219295 0 6234 DANIEL L JOHNSON VICE PRESIDENT AND GENERAL COUNSEL 40 0 X 172758 0 33657 TREVOR M WAGENER DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH AND ECONOMICS 40 0 X 174512 0 23461 HEATHER L GREENFIELD DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS 40 0 X 149900 0 34417 ALEXANDRA J STERNBURG SENIOR POLICY COUNSEL 40 0 X 153300 0 26559 EDWARD J BLACK CEO EMERITUS AND CHAIRMAN 5 0 X X 0 0 0 BRUCE AITKEN VICE-CHAIRMAN 1 0 X X 0 0 0 JEFFREY H BLUM DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 LAUREN CULBERTSON DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 MARK ISAKOWITZ DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 BERNARD MCKAY DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 DANIEL H O'CONNOR DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 TOM RABON DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER TAYLOR-HODGES DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 1748953 0 214169 13 0 1 0 AMERICAN GLOBAL STRATEGIES LLC 3146 RED HILL AVE STE 125 COSTA MESA CA 926263413 POLICY CONSULTING 1012500 HAMILTON PLACE STRATEGIES 805 15TH ST NW STE 200 WASHINGTON DC 20005 MESSAGE DEVELOPMENT 884528 FIREHOUSE STRATEGIES LLC 1501 M ST NW STE 1100 WASHINGTON DC 200051729 PUBLIC RELATIONS 859965 GLOBAL STRATEGIES GROUP LLC 215 PARK AVE S FL 15 NEW YORK NY 100031612 CONSUMER RESEARCH 464000 ARENT FOX LLP 1717 K ST NW WASHINGTON DC 200065344 LEGAL CONSULTING 453105 15 0 0 0 0 0 80020100 0 80020100 MEMBERSHIP DUES 813910 3629443 3629443 0 0 SPONSORSHIPS 900099 102493 102493 0 0 0 0 0 0 3731936 208385 0 0 208385 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10107300 13575 10118536 9111 -11236 4464 -6772 0 0 -6772 0 UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME 561000 158209 0 158209 0 CREDIT CARD CASH REWARDS 900099 3127 0 0 3127 0 0 0 0 161336 84114985 3731936 158209 204740 X 1813750 0 1503 0 947623 0 2738688 156974 157152 323560 0 1967110 4200 770000 0 36250 6077123 66847787 58011 172335 0 323788 69390 0 474067 303 0 32893 6424 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 146601 LOSS ON CURRENCY EXCHANGE 61179 LICENSES AND PERMITS 18681 BUSINESS GIFTS 2215 998 83208605 0 0 0 357548 736032 11810990 11421646 0 6140156 2560690 0 0 1015 0 83663 108183 731442 218699 487538 512743 3921067 11732546 63608 549443 0 0 48177 33823 22913762 27655106 1946532 1497227 0 0 11686788 16661666 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9005 2838 652288 611692 14294613 18773423 X -2696289 8619150 11315438 262533 8619149 8881683 22913762 27655106 906380 -643846 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 73261028 68672843 0 68672843 68857558 -184715 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 521263 78140 443123 0 210179 140559 69620 0 0 0 0 512743 DEFERRED RENTS 546002 ACCRUED EMPLOYEE BENEFIT 65339 ACCRUED PAYROLL LIABILITIES 351 611692 Europe (including Iceland and Greenland) 1 6 Program Services SEE PART V 2574024 1 6 2574024 0 0 0 0 0 0 Schedule F, Part I, Line 3 SPECIFIC TYPES OF PROGRAM SERVICES IN THE REGION INCLUDE ADVOCACY TO PROMOTE OUR MEMBERS' POSITIONS ON THE IMPACTS TO THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR AS A RESULT OF PROPOSED REGULATION RELATED TO COPYRIGHT REFORM, FOREIGN SUBSIDIES, DIGITAL MARKETS ACT, DIGITAL SERVICES ACT, NATIONAL SECURITY, NETWORK FEES, AMOUNT OTHERS; INTERVENE IN COURT PROCEEDINGS ON MATTERS OF IMPORTANCE TO THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR; COMMISSION ECONOMIC STUDIES ON THE IMPACT(S) TO THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR UNDER PROPOSED REGULATION 0 INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR LAW & ECONOMICS 1104 NW 15TH AVE STE 300 PORTLAND OR 972092881 522363626 501(c)3 100000 0 TO SUPPORT ICLE RESEARCH AND PROVIDE DETAILED ANALYSIS ON WHETHER ADTECH MARKETS SHOULD BE REGULATED LIKE FINANCIAL MARKETS.
