Dear all,
I'd like to introduce myself to all of you in my new role Legal and
Policy Advisor at Wikimedia Deutschland, reporting to Christian Rickerts.
Some of you know me already from previous engagements, but to be
responsible laterally for everything around law and politics at WMDE is
surely the most daunting task I had to date.
By training I'm a lawyer and have practiced for several years in the
field of open and free as in freedom as co-founder of the Berlin-based
lawfirm iRights.Law. Since almost ten years I support Creative Commons as
volunteer Legal Project Lead for CC Germany. From 2013 until the new WMDE
job started I was also one of two CC Regional Coordinators for Europe, a
paid contractor position. With CC's newly adopted 2016 - 2020 strategy,
advocacy and policy work in general have been added quite prominently to
what CC does as an org, and I had the honour to help get this new focus
going. There's much more to come in that respect, especially from the
worldwide network of CC Teams, who are right in the middle of deliberating
about how to structure everything in the future. So keep an eye out in that
direction.
From my CC work and also, because WMDE is an institution most central to
net politics in Germany, I'm no stranger to Wikimedia. In the past WMDE
inter alia helped to launch the brochure on CC NC licenses. I've also
already worked with people at the Wikimedia Foundation, with the Wikimedian
in Brussels, Dimitar Dimitrov, on freedom of panorama legislation, as well
as with local communities, for example on OER. In my new role as policy
advisor I will try to shape the debates that concern the legal framework
and political baselines of free knowledge on a local, regional and
international level.
Stay tuned for added policy work from Berlin, I'm very moch looking
forward to working with this great bunch of people.
Kind regards
