OneWebDay Founder Tapped By Obama

scrawford.jpgInternet law expert Susan Crawford has joined President Barack Obama's lineup of tech policy experts at the White House, according to several sources. She will likely hold the title of special assistant to the president for science, technology, and innovation policy, they said. Crawford, who was most recently a visiting professor at the University of Michigan and at Yale Law School, was tapped by Obama's transition team in November to co-chair its FCC review process with University of Pennsylvania professor Kevin Werbach. Her official administration appointment has not been formally announced. Crawford may be best known for her work with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the California-based nonprofit group that manages the Internet address system. She served on ICANN's board for three years beginning in December 2005. She also founded OneWebDay, a global Earth Day for the Internet that takes place every Sept. 22. Crawford, a Yale graduate, clerked for U.S. District Judge Raymond Dearie before joining Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering where she worked until the end of 2002.

Well its a good thing that they hired Susan. Without their internet efforts, Mr. Obama would have most probably lost the election. Its good to see that we are being informed via other communication methods.

I think she will make a great addition.  Another woman, and any friend of Obamas is a friend of mine.

“The new Obama administration is shaping up to be a disaster for Copyfighters everywhere,” said Alan Wexelblat on Corante recently domain registration.

“In particular the new Department of Justice is stacked with lawyers who’ve been on the wrong side of copyright and intellectual property lawsuits for the last eight years.”

Now word has leaked that Susan Crawford has been appointed a White House tech policy expert dedicated servers.

Word has it that President Obama has tapped Susan Crawford--media-law scholar, OneWebDay founder, ICANN board member, and Net neutrality advocate--to be his Special Assistant for Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy.

I find it difficult how you Eric could characterize me as you
  enemy. Obama through Crawford and her well educated cat dieses, well experienced,
  extremely bright and caring people will bring more light onto/into
  ICANN. And I must say that if people came and looked at the releases
  and statements of ICANN in a frozen point in time, now, it would
  really look "on paper" like they are really trying to do an O' grass
  roots renovation.

Susan is indeed very bright, but is and has been largely based in
academics
and as such out of touch with the real world as she has little recent
real
world experiance, and I don't count ICANN as real world.
Of course on closer reading they would see external Social (Danny)
and Financial (George) audits that would make Madoff look cleaner than
Vint or our Melbourne interloper ever did garden pictures.

The "Concerned U.S. Citizen" comment should be deleted - it is nothing other than a factually inaccurate attempt at character assassination.

Responded on March 29, 2009 10:39 PM

Concerned U.S. Citizen

Susan Crawford is a shill of Esther Dyson.

Susan Crawford is NOT qualified to provide technical advice to anyone.

Susan Crawford is typical of the members of the OBAMA.NATION.

Susan Crawford sat on her hands at ICANN and did nothing as Vinton Cerf spewed his socialist policies.

Susan Crawford's Web Day event is secretly backed by Don Telage of Network Solutions and Verisign heritage.

Susan Crawford regularly feeds at the Google Camp buffets to get her orders from Eric Schmidt.

Susan Crawford is a clueless puppet.

That's great news - for both Susan Crawford and for the country! It will be good for America for the President to have advice that comes from Susan Crawford's understanding of the importance of communications technology.

The strory is almost correct, except that Susan did actually join the faculty of University of Michigan in the fall of 2008.

We look forward to OneWebDay being celebrated in the Rose Garden this year!
