Chris Read (WMG) — Chairman

The mission of this group is to streamline digital operations on the supply chain and reporting side. One major topic concerns the implementation of DDEX XML standards for Electronic Release Notification and Digital Sales Reporting. NARM is working very closely with DDEX and has established a supplier consensus on moving to this new standard. The other main topics concern other operational issues including: data integrity, takedown/ rights changes and revocation issues, and lack of intelligence in GRID/ ISRC, and delivery of marketing information. Other members of the DTT work group include the VP and SVP level operations people from WMG, UMG, EMI, SONY, E1, The Orchard, IRIS, IODA, as well as Amazon, Apple, 7Digital, eMusic, Real, Neurotic Media, Nokia, and Verizon.
