+1 for Wendy

In addition for working with Robin at the Electronic frontier Foundation 
( eff.org ) I worked with Wendy there as well. I noticed when you posted 
Wendy's resume you forgot EFF. Like Robin (and probably most everyone 
else here) Wendy really understands the complex issues of Internet 
freedom and has definitely been on the front lines for many years.
