Electronic Frontier Foundation: Präsident tritt zurück-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Barry Steinhardt, bisher in einer Doppelfunktion als Präsident der Electronic Frontier Foundation und in der American Civil Liberties Union tätig legt sein Funktion bei der EFF zurück. Offizieller Grund: Die Belastung durch ständiges Pendeln zwischen Ost- und Westküste. Weniger offiziell weiss man, dass der Spagat zwischen der von Martin Luther King gegründeten ACLU und den Techno-Libertarians der EFF in letzter Zeit immer schwieriger geworden ist. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- I have thoroughly enjoyed my tenure at EFF , which is made up of many fine, dedicated people. But I have regretfully concluded that my family's situation rules out a move from New York to San Francisco and even prevents me from travelling to the West Coast frequently enough to effectively direct an organization based in the Bay Area. Indeed, I find myself a full fledged member of the "sandwich generation" with older parents and young children, both of whom have developed unexpected needs in the last few months. These unforseen developments have forced me to significantly curtail my travel schedule and, unfortunately, even on the Electronic Frontier, there is no substitute for human contact. I will be returning to the ACLU as Associate Director and Chair of the Cyberliberties Task Force by year-end. EFF and ACLU have frequently worked together and have agreed to strengthen that bond with a number of cooperative projects. I expect to remain active with EFF in a new capacity and the Board has asked me to serve on the Search Committee and to work with our search firm Isaacson, Miller. .... The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization founded in July, 1990 to protect and promote the basic civil liberties of the users of on-line and emerging technologies. As the global community has expanded, EFF has helped to shape the electronic frontier, setting the standard for protection of the free exchange of ideas, one of the building blocks of our society. After splitting his time between New York and San Francisco, current Executive Director Barry Steinhardt is stepping down for family reasons to return to his position of Associate Director of the American Civil Liberties Union. The next Executive Director is expected to expand EFF^Òs membership and global presence, heighten elected officials^Ò appreciation and understanding of Internet civil liberties, strengthen the organization^Òs infrastructure, and create strategic alliances with individuals, corporations, and civil liberties advocates around the world. The ideal candidate will combine a deep and abiding commitment to the protection of individual rights with a record of accomplishment in the area of civil liberties and public policy issues surrounding the Global Internet and other emerging technologies. In addition, s/he will have demonstrated successful experience in managing non-profit, membership organizations, and current, active connections within the high technology community.
