The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.copyright.gov\/music-modernization\/\">Music Modernization Act (MMA)<\/a> reserves certain governance positions for representatives of musical work copyright owners.<\/p>\n<h2>Board and committee positions<\/h2>\n<p>One publisher representative seat is available on the Board of Directors. The committees seeking publisher candidates are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dispute Resolution<\/li>\n<li>Operations Advisory<\/li>\n<li>Unclaimed Royalties Oversight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Board elections are scheduled for summer 2026. Board and committee members serve <strong>three-year terms<\/strong> and may be re-elected. Positions are filled under The MLC\u2019s bylaws.<\/p>\n<h2>Eligibility and participation<\/h2>\n<p>The bylaws define a publisher as a music publisher to which songwriters have assigned exclusive reproduction and distribution rights for musical works relating to Covered Activities.<\/p>\n<p>Covered Activities comprise digital phonorecord deliveries of musical works through permanent downloads, limited downloads or interactive streams that qualify for a compulsory license under Section 115 of the U.S. Copyright Act.<\/p>\n<p>Candidate suggestions can be submitted through The MLC\u2019s suggestion form.<\/p>\n<p>The board and committees meet regularly, with virtual participation available for every meeting, so travel is generally unnecessary.
