Gerade rechtzeitig vor der 10 Wiederkehr des Gründungstags  
der Electronic Frontier Foundation hat sich selbige  
Avantgarde eine neue Führung verpasst. Die neue Direktorin  
heisst Tamara Lemmey & bringt [siehe unten] eine  
eindrucksvolle vita electronica mit. Barry Steinhardt hatte das  
Amt im Spätsommer des letzten Jahres wegen  
Arbeitsüberlastung zurückgelegt & ist jetzt "nur noch"  
Ececutive Director der American Civil Liberties Union.

To: The Internet Community From: Lori Fena, Chairman,  
Electronic Frontier Foundation Date: Wednesday, February  
17, 1999 Re: EFF's New Executive Director 
 
Dear Colleagues, 
 
It is with great pleasure that I announce on behalf of the  
Electronic Frontier Foundation that Tara Lemmey will be  
joining the Foundation as its new Executive Director.  The  
executive search process that began last October was highly  
competitive and attracted applications from exceptional  
candidates from around the world. 
 
This year promises to be a very important one for Tara and  
the Foundation, as we are on the cusp of both a new  
millennium and EFF's 10th anniversary. We expect that  
Congress will be just as busy this year in drafting new  
Internet legislation as it was last year, during which over 300  
bills regulating some component of cyberspace were  
introduced.  In addition, EFF has two major First Amendment  
cases pending in federal courts this year, one challenging the  
government's export controls on encryption and another one  
contesting a new law censoring speech on the Internet under  
the guise of protecting children.  This year will also mark an  
increased global focus for the organization, building on last  
year's important work in Eastern and Central Europe and  
continuing its involvement with the Global Internet Liberty  
Campaign. 
 
Tara is an experienced entrepreneur who has been involved  
with the Internet community for the last decade.  She is a  
well-known data and privacy practitioner with private sector  
expertise in linking electronic commerce and media.  She is  
the founder and board member of Narrowline and holds board  
advisory roles with TRUSTe, Metasound, and eNutrition.  In  
addition, she has been an advisor to the U.S. Postal Service  
and Cybercash in the area of e-commerce. 
 
Her involvement last year with the Federal Trade  
Commission's Internet privacy hearings brought her to the  
forefront of the industry in the development of privacy  
practices through the cooperation of industry with  
government.  Tara also participated in the White House  
Framework for Global Economic Commerce, the World Wide  
Web Consortium (W3C) as an Advisory Board member for  
Technology and Society, and in the W3C's Platform for  
Privacy Preferences standard.  She is a frequent speaker on  
a wide range of topics related to e-commerce, media, and  
privacy, including recent presentations at Internet World,  
Jupiter Communication's Advertising Conference, The Aspen  
Institute, the United Nations forum on electronic commerce,  
and PC Forum. 
 
On March 5, EFF's staff and board members will be hosting  
an open house in San Francisco for our friends, sponsors,  
and supporters to join us in welcoming Tara to the  
Foundation.  I encourage you to stop by and introduce  
yourself to her and other EFF members.  The event will begin  
at 5:00 PM and take place in our building's penthouse suite  
at 1550 Bryant Street (between 15th and 16th streets). 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Lori Fena, Chairman Electronic Frontier Foundation
