Lawrence Lessig has done wonderful things for the free culture movement
(including making that very phrase famous!) I am pretty confident, given
his recent interests, that he would not want this position,but he's well
worth discussing anyway.
Though I don't know Larry Lessig personally, I do know
I met him, he's amazingly focused and radical, I appreciate his brand of
intellect very much. But I think suggesting candidates for the ED position at
this time is jumping two steps ahead of where we are.

Something that I would like to understand is why so much WMF information is
