The MLC Seeking Suggestions For Board of Directors & Advisory Committee Candidates

April 22, 2025/by Lorie Hollabaugh

The Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC) is accepting suggestions of Publisher candidates for its Board of Directors and Dispute Resolution, Operations Advisory and Unclaimed Royalties Oversight committees.

Under the Music Modernization Act, certain positions at The MLC are reserved for representatives of Publishers and the terms of several Publisher seats on the Board and the advisory committees are slated to end later this year. Elections to determine who will fill the open Board seats will be held this summer, with board and committee members serving three-year terms with the possibility of re-election. Seats are filled according to The MLC’s Bylaws.

The openings on The MLC’s advisory committees are:

  • One Publisher seat on the Dispute Resolution Committee, which recommends policies and procedures to The MLC’s Board for the processing of royalties related to works that are subject to disputes over ownership;
  • Two Publisher seats on the Operations Advisory Committee, which makes recommendations to the Board concerning the operations of The MLC, including the efficient investment in and deployment of information technology and data resources; and
  • Two Publisher seats on the Unclaimed Royalties Oversight Committee, which recommends policies and procedures to The MLC’s Board related to the distribution of unclaimed accrued royalties.

The MLC’s Board of Directors and advisory committees meet regularly, and all meetings allow for virtual participation. Members are expected to devote sufficient time to prepare for and participate fully in all meetings. More information on The MLC’s Board of Directors and advisory committees can be found here.

Suggestions should be made no later than May 22. To suggest a candidate for a Publisher representative seat to The MLC’s Board or committees, please complete the suggestion form available here.
