From a Future of Music press release: “Future of Music Coalition (FMC) is pleased to announce that Executive Director and Founder Jenny Toomey has been named the next Program Officer for Media and Cultural Policy at the Ford Foundation. Jenny Toomey will leave FMC as Executive Director effective January 14, 2008 but will actively participate in the transition of new leadership to the organization…

FMC is currently engaged in a search process and expects to make an announcement regarding its new Executive Director early in 2008. In the interim, FMC’s Deputy and Education Director Kristin Thomson will serve as Executive Director, a role she played in 2004 while Jenny took a temporary leave of absence from the organization. Upon the appointment of a new Executive Director, Kristin will resume her Program Director role…

“Some key highlights of the organization’s work (include): Publicly critiqued policy developments that would harm musicians. FMC has filed testimony in Congress and at the US Copyright Office, Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission on issues such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, webcasting rates and reporting requirements, the seven year rule on musicians’ contracts, major label accounting practices, media ownership, local broadcasting markets, payola, low power FM, the transition to digital audio broadcasting, and the public performance right for sound recordings.”
