 The Global Leadership Group (GLG) creates an opportunity for member CEOs and top executives to exchange views and priorities with other CEOs and directly impact the strategic direction of the effort. BASCAP also provides a platform for CEOs to join together to address global audiences and communicate directly with national government ministers and IGO officials through personal meetings, letters or the international media.
Formation of the GLG has been critical to building awareness, strengthening statements to the media, adding weight to interventions with inter-governmental organizations and amplifying messages to national governments.
Executives have joined BASCAP to emphasize that the protection of intellectual property rights is a social and economic imperative. They are committed to the belief that the erosion of these protections, through the illegal practices of counterfeiting and piracy, are debilitating to all companies that invest in intellectual capital – not just their own. For these reasons, BASCAP CEOs have stepped forward to help raise awareness on this vital issue.
The GLG meets periodically to:
- Evaluate the progress and priorities of BASCAP and provide direction for ongoing strategies and activities;
- Convey messages that highlight the essential role of intellectual property (IP) as a driver of innovation and economic growth and the need to maintain private sector and government investments to protect IP and stop counterfeiting and piracy.
Annual meetings of the GLG have convened in:
