Hi all,
I am excited to announce that Sherwin Siy
<https://twitter.com/SherwinTKTK?lang=en> joined the Wikimedia Foundation
Legal Team as Senior Public Policy Manager.
Sherwin Siy has spent his career working in technology policy. He comes to
the Wikimedia Foundation having served since 2016 as Special Counsel at the
U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the Competition Policy
Division of the Wireline Competition Bureau, where he worked on broadband
privacy rules and various numbering issues. Prior to that, he was Vice
President of Legal Affairs for Public Knowledge, where he coordinated the
legal team and worked on a variety of issues, with a focus on copyright and
internet platform law and policy. He has also taught as an adjunct
instructor at American University and George Washington University School
of Law.
We are very excited to welcome Sherwin to our team advocating for free
knowledge. He will be working with Jan Gerlach and others at the
Foundation, and hopefully will have an opportunity to meet many of you. He
will work from Washington DC, and you can reach him at <ssiy(a)wikimedia.org

Welcome, Sherwin!
