Music Row: The MLC Seeking Songwriter Candidate Suggestions For Board Of Directors & Committees
The Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC) is seeking suggestions for songwriter candidates for its Board of Directors, Dispute Resolution and Unclaimed Royalties Oversight committees.
There is one songwriter representative position on the Board of Directors. The candidate will sit for three-year terms with the opportunity to be re-elected. Seats are filled in accordance to The MLC’s bylaws.
Additionally, the MLC has three committee songwriter seats open. One is on the Dispute Resolution Committee, where they will recommend policies and procedures to the board for the processing of royalties related to works that are subject to disputes over ownership. The two seats on the Unclaimed Royalties Oversight Committee will recommend policies and procedures to the board pertaining to the distribution of unclaimed accrued royalties. Elected committee candidates will serve for three-year terms and are eligible for re-election.
