I still disagree. It's somehow weird to have a deaf person writing music industry regulations - but it's actually not at all important for them to hear music to regulate it.
Otherwise, do we regulate differently based on _sound_!? I hope not! We don't regulate based on music theory either! Do we need him to know chord progressions to be able to write laws? I hope not!
With tech it's a little different, we do regulate based on aspects that touch on fundamental theory, like manufacturing processes, cryptography, etc.

That's why deaf people can't write these laws: they don't even know what music or chords are: they have no way of sensing them. There absolutely have been court cases about plagiarism where the arguments were about whether certain chord progressions can be copyrighted or not.
