If one of the interested parties of a COMPASS originated work is not a Member, the royalties of the non-member will be placed in the Non-Member Special Account (SN). The royalties will be held until the non-member becomes a Member, upon which the amount will be released. If the non-member does not become a Member by the following Distribution period, such royalties will be placed in the Undistributable Royalties Special Account (SU), to be distributed with the subsequent general distribution. For non-COMPASS works, the CISAC Warsaw Rule will apply if only one of the writers is identified at the time of distribution.
