ALCS calls for members to support ECL initiative

If you are a member of the Authors Licensing and Collecting Society (the ALCS), as this blogger is, you should have received by now an e-bulletin which clicks through to an Extended Collective Licensing (ECL) Consultation. As the ALCS explains:

The regulations governing ECL require the members of the licensing body seeking the authorisation to consent to its application. ALCS is a member of CLA [the Copyright Licensing Agency, here] and we are therefore seeking the consent of ALCS members to the CLA application.

A fairly full and helpful page containing further information can be perused here. 

Oh, and if you are thinking of popping in to say hello to the folk at ALCS, the organisation is moving to a new address:

1st FloorBarnard's Inn86 Fetter LaneLondon EC4A 1EN

By sheer coincidence, the CLA is moving there too.
