Hi all, 

Thanks so much for your engagement on this list and your hard work on a host of issues. I probably follow this list the closest, and really respect your insights and judgment as we navigate through a number of tricky or tough issues.

If I may, I have some good news to report from WMF. Yana Welinder on the legal team has just been named as a 2015-2016 affiliate scholar/researcher for Harvard University’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society. (Yana is also a Fellow with the Stanford Center for Internet & Society.)

As a Berkman Center Affiliate, Yana will have the opportunity to further engage with the Internet law and policy community and continue her research on issues that support Wikimedia movement values. Yana’s previous work in this space has included a research paper highlighting Wikimedia’s trademark policy process (co-written with her legal colleague Stephen LaPorte) and CollabMark, an open source guide to trademark policies (also co-created by Stephen).

Congrats to Yana, and thanks again to all those on this list for your hard work and dedication to issues of shared interest.

Geoff
