Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

TO FURTHER THE INTERESTS OF COMPANIES IN THE COMPUTER AND COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRIES, INCLUDING THE INTERESTS OF OUR MEMBERS, BY BEING THE LEADING ADVOCATE PROMOTING OPEN, BARRIER-FREE COMPETITION IN THE OFFERING OF COMPUTER AND COMMUNICATIONS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES WORLDWIDE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO FURTHER THE INTERESTS OF THE INDUSTRIES SERVED BY OUR MEMBER COMPANIES IN BEING THE LEADING ADVOCATE PROMOTING OPEN, BARRIER-FREE COMPETITION IN THE OFFERING OF COMPUTER AND COMMUNICATIONS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES WORLDWIDE.

  • THE ASSOCIATION MOBILIZED AGAINST THE AMERICAN INNOVATION AND CHOICE ONLINE ACT (AICOA - H.R. 3816 AND S. 2992) IN THE 117TH CONGRESS. 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.

As filed on the 2022 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 3 · Compensation committee
  • 3 · Form 990 of other organizations
  • 3 · Written employment contract
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
