Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the evidentiary criteria. His membership in ASCAP did not require outstanding achievements of its members, and he provided no evidence for membership in other claimed organizations. Additionally, the published materials submitted were about his bands, not primarily about him as an individual, and often did not even mention his name or specific contributions.
