I want to be a member of a team to create a Quora Writer's Program, to examine ways to improve the writing experience for current, brand new writers, and to enhance the experience of dedicated, long-term writers.Cultivate new writers by providing an easier on-boarding experience via revamping Getting Started on Quora, adding video instruction, and creating a film about Quora showcasing the different ways people can and do use Quora.Create more community cohesion by having a rotating group of writers attend a week-long Quora Writer's Workshop to create and execute new programs and plans. I see the workshop combining new writing talent every quarter.Coordinate the production of a film, featuring Quora users using Quora to demonstrate the experience and invite new users to join usCreate incentive travel programs for Quora writersExamine ways to monetize the Quora Writer's Workshop (I have ideas already...) so that it doesn't become too expensive to maintain over timeCreate outreach to middle schools, high schools, and universities to find new writersIncrease the topic breadth and depth by recruiting exceptional writers in fields which are not yet prevalent as topics on Quora.Edited to add: I would like to explore with Quora some of the ways writers can benefit financially from their works. Many have contributed a great deal of knowledge here, and it would be lovely for some of Quora's writers to be able to earn income in addition to sharing their knowledge. For example, if allowed access to a writer's complete body of Quora work, a writer and/or I can write a sweet biographical summary, and then review the body of work they wrote in a short summation. Layout, packaging and posting complimentary art to complete each writer's opus, would make the package more attractive; and making it available on a download or as a hard copy for a fee would complete the presentation of it. ... Then, marketing the work would be done in a slightly different manner than is currently practiced by any other publisher. We would find interested people on Quora and in the world to write reviews, and publish those reviews on various social media. ... I can see, for example, all of Robert Frost's answers -- complete with photographs -- collected and packaged as a chapter book for kids and adults who are interested in physics and space. (etc.)See also, Nan Waldman's answer to What do active users on Quora want from a Writer Relations program?

No. 1David R. JohnsonDavid R. Johnson is lawyer specializing in computer communications. He is a Senior Fellow at Center for Democracy and Technology, and a former chairman of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.Johnson graduated from Yale College with a B.A. summa cum laude in 1967. He completed a year of postgraduate study at University College, Oxford in 1968, and earned a J.D.from Yale Law School in 1972. For a year following graduation Johnson clerked for the Honorable Malcolm R. Wilkey of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.Johnson joined Washington, D.C. law firm Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering in 1973, and became a partner in 1980. His practice focused primarily on the emerging area of electronic commerce, including counseling on issues relating to privacy, domain names and Internet governance issues, jurisdiction, copyright, taxation, electronic contracting, encryption, defamation, ISP and OSP liability, regulation, and other intellectual property matters.Johnson helped to write the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (1986) Johnson was active in the introduction of personal computers in law practice, acting as President and CEO of Counsel Connect, a system connecting corporate counsel and outside law firms, and serving the Board of the Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI) and as a Trustee of the National Center for Automated Information Research (NCAIR).In October 1993, coincidental with the move of its main offices from Cambridge, Massachusetts to D.C., Johnson became a director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.[2] In February 2005, while serving as the organization's Senior Policy Fellow, Johnson replaced founder Mitch Kapor as Chairman of the EFF Board.In the early 2000s, along with Post, Johnson was active in the re-organization of ICANN - penning several critical papers with Susan P.

Palfrey, Jr. (Aspen Institute) 2004No. 2Lawrence LessigLawrence Lessig is the Director of the Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics at Harvard University, and a Professor of Law at Harvard Law School.Prior to returning to Harvard, Lessig was a Professor of Law at Stanford Law School (where he was founder of Stanford's Center for Internet and Society), Harvard Law School (1997-2000), and the University of Chicago Law School. Lessig clerked for Judge Richard Posner on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals and Justice Antonin Scalia on the United States Supreme Court.His current academic work addresses the question of "institutional corruption" roughly, influences within an economy of influence that weaken the effectiveness of an institution, or weaken public trust. His current work at the EJ Safra Lab oversees a 5 year research project addressing institutional corruption in a number of institutional contexts.Lessig has won numerous awards, including the Free Software Foundation's Freedom Award, and was named one of Scientific American's Top 50 Visionaries. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society.Lessig serves on the boards of Creative Commons, MAPLight, Brave New Film Foundation, Change Congress, The American Academy, Berlin, Freedom House and iCommons.org. He is on the advisory board of the Sunlight Foundation. He has previously served on the boards of the Free Software Foundation, the Software Freedom Law Center, Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Public Library of Science, Free Press, and Public Knowledge. Lessig was also a columnist for Wired, Red Herring, and the Industry Standard.Lessig earned a BA in economics and a BS in management from the University of Pennsylvania, an MA in philosophy from Cambridge, and a JD from Yale. He has received honorary degrees from The University of Amsterdam, Athabasca University, and The Georgian-American University.Code is lawIn computer science, "code" typically refers to the text of a computer program (the source code). In law, "code" can refer to the texts that constitute statutory law. In his book Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace, Lessig explores the ways in which code in both senses can be instruments for social control, leading to his dictum that "Code is law."Legislative reformDespite presenting an anti-regulatory standpoint in many fora, Lessig still sees the need for legislative enforcement of copyright. He has called for limiting copyright terms for creative professionals to five years, but believes that introducing the bureaucratic procedure needed to renew trademarks, by making copyright need to be renewed for up to 75 years after this five-year term, would mean that creative professionals' work, many of the independent, would become more easily and quickly available.Free CultureIn 2002, Lessig received the Award for the Advancement of Free Software from the Free Software Foundation (FSF), and on March 28, 2004 he was elected to the FSF's Board of Directors. In 2006, Lessig was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Lessig is also a well-known critic of copyright term extensions.He proposed the concept of "Free Culture". He also supports free software and open spectrum. At his Free Culture keynote at theO'Reilly Open Source Convention 2002, half of his speech was about software patents, which he views as a rising threat to both free/open source software and innovation.In March 2006, Lessig joined the board of advisors of the Digital Universe project. A few months later, Lessig gave a talk on the ethics of the Free Culture Movement at the 2006 Wikimania conference.Lessig claimed in 2009 that, because 70% of young people obtain digital information from illegal sources, the law should be changed.Net neutralityLessig has long been known to be a supporter of Net Neutrality. In 2006, he testified before the US Senate that he believed Congress should ratify Michael Powell's four Internet freedoms and add a restriction to access-tiering, i.e. he does not believe content providers should be charged different amounts. The reason is that the Internet, under the neutral end-to-end design is an invaluable platform for innovation, and the economic benefit of innovation would be threatened if large corporations could purchase faster service to the detriment of newer companies with less capital. However, Lessig has supported the idea of allowing ISPs to give consumers the option of different tiers of service at different prices. He was reported on CBC News as saying that he has always been in favour of allowing internet providers to charge differently for consumer access at different speeds. He said, "Now, no doubt, my position might be wrong. Some friends in the network neutrality movement as well as some scholars believe it is wrong - that it doesn't go far enough. But the suggestion that the position is 'recent' is baseless. If I'm wrong, I've always been wrong."Combating sexual abuseIn May 2005, it was revealed that Lessig had experienced sexual abuse by the director at the American Boychoir School which he had attended as an adolescent. Lessig reached a settlement with the school in the past, under confidential terms. He revealed his experiences in the course of representing another student victim, John Hardwicke, in court. In August 2006, he succeeded in persuading the New Jersey Supreme Court to restrict the scope of immunity radically, which had protected nonprofits that failed to prevent sexual abuse from legal liability.No. 3Steve ChabinskySteven Chabinsky served as Deputy Assistant Director and as the highest-ranking civilian position in the FBI's Cyber Division.

FisherWilliam "Terry" W. Fisher is the WilmerHale Professor of Intellectual Property Law at Harvard Law School and faculty director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society. His primary research and teaching areas are intellectual property law and legal history.In his book Promises to Keep: Technology, Law and the Future of Entertainment (Stanford University Press 2004), Fisher proposes replacing much of copyright and digital rights management with a government-administered reward system. Under such a scheme, movies and songs would be legal to download. Authors and artists would receive compensation from the government based on how often their works were read, watched, or listened to. The system would be funded by taxes.Fisher is one of the founders of Noank Media, a private enterprise similar in many ways to the proposal of Promises to Keep. Noank licenses and distributes digital content by collecting blanket-license revenues from internet services providers and distributing revenues to authors and artists based on the size of their audience.Fisher was among the lawyers, along with his colleague John Palfrey and the law firm of Jones Day, who represented Shepard Fairey, pro bono, in his law suit against the Associated Press related to the iconic Hope poster.[3]An alumnus of Amherst College, Fisher received a law degree and a Ph.D. in the history of American civilization from Harvard University.

Like most things in life, both sides probably see themselves as “in the right,” as to how our friendship ended…We met the beginning of our Junior year in HS. We’d both moved to the area over the summer, and were at a new school. We were the same religion going to the same church, but didn’t have any classes together. I’m a solid guy at 6′2″, so is Rich (Not real name); but two months into the school year we hadn’t really spoken. I was content not having friends, because I liked to read, and had only started making friends when I became the outreach program for some of the outcast kids. They were nice, but not my thing.One morning before school we were talking to other people, as part of a larger group, and I can’t remember what Rich said, but I remember the feeling of the moment. It was deviously clever; so I was now interested in being friends. I interjected a subtly humorous comment in response, and then we looked at each other; we both knew we were going to be friends. From then on, our “bromance” began.We were both incredibly smart underachievers, with sharp wit and high opinions of ourselves. I was a little bit more of an extrovert, and handsome, at least I think so, but also very guarded with girls. I came from a home with a single mom who for years was a home ridden depressed mess who didn’t get out of bed most days until I was back from school.He come from a home where both parents worked, and ran the house like you would expect with his Dad being a Master Gunnery Sergeant in the US Marines; but his Mom ran the place with the iron fist. They’d moved often, and though a little controlling, were, and are, great parents.I include the background to say we both had a little baggage, but don’t we all. In HS he had a GF, Ashley (not real name), and they kept dating after graduation. I moved out of state, not for school, but to buy a house with an inheritance I’d received from my father passing when I was young, in a cheaper area. I didn’t have the study skills to be in school, though I had graduated HS as Sophomore in college due to AP credit.Rich moved to another state to attend engineering school. He didn’t have the study skills either, but his parent paid an admissions consultant to temper his mediocre grades with his military childhood and the many moves, and off he went, paying full-tuition at a private school.He dropped partway through the second semester and moved in with me. A few weeks later we both took an out of state summer job and moved to the Chicago suburbs. It was in Chicago I found out Ashley had broken up with him, and probably was a big reason he’d dropped out. He was depressed. He was still witty, and though he developed a black spot on his soul, we still were best friends.We moved back to my home area, and both worked. Hung out daily, and had a good time. Intelligent conversation and shared likes can make a young man’s life meaningful enough. Our friendship probably kept both of us from launching in life.Flash forward a few years. I’d left on a two year mission with my church and returned. I had received one email while gone from Rich, but when I got back things were like before. He was still in a funk, still pining for Ashley. I enrolled in the local open enrollment university, and failed. We hung out way too much!During this time I had become engaged, and then left for the summer to work. I was now a manager with the company, even though I had taken a 2 year hiatus. My relationship ended before I returned… she was too young and though I made 50k plus a year, was not going places in life. Now I was depressed.Rich played a lot of World of Warcraft, it was 2008, and so I had started playing casually; but with my engagement done, and me being depressed, I started playing a lot. I hit level 70, the level cap, 2 days before the ‘Wraith of the Lich King’ expansion came out, raising the level cap to 80. Through playing with Rich we both hit level 80 a few days later and I was able to join one of the top raiding guilds on our server. For the Horde!This was the beginning of the end. There was a Blood Elf Rogue named Anivia (not real gamertag). One night we were playing, and she had the wit, subtle and devious. I took and interest, and we hit it off. I’d known Rich liked her, but nothing had happened. After a few weeks, we planned on her flying out to meet for Valentines.Rich and I moved in together, into a new place, and life seemed good.I was in love, but Rich wasn’t happy. I could sense there was something off. Anivia and Rich chatted too much. Their relationship blossomed as mine had with her. I could see the rocky rapids ahead, but between the hormones and emotional longing, I didn’t stop it. Maybe a personality flaw for me, but I just braced for the fallout.I dropped some hints to Rich I knew something was up, Anivia too, but she must have thought I was oblivious. Rich knew better and he came to me. He confessed to me days before Anivia’s trip, they had a plan, for here to come, and she could decide who she liked better.Bad plan, one of us would be very unhappy, and I knew she would choose Rich. I was the one being kept in the dark, I was the looser. He offered to have her cancel the trip, pleaded with me, but I said we will see what was going to happen. It was a mix of feelings for me, hormones, longing, macho bravado, masochism, who knows. Guild members, fellow Gamers warned me about Anivia. This was not new for her. I should have called off the trip, this was my mistake as a friend.She came, we had a great first night, we slept together (Rich at work). Looking back, this was my revenge on Rich, but it was not a conscious one. At the time, I dreamed of the future. I woke up the next morning, and she was in his room talking with Rich. I was pissed, she was working us.A mutual friend called and point blank asked me if I had slept with Anivia. I have never been good a denying a direct question. Thirty minutes later Rich, Anivia, and I were having a sit down talk. She said she chose him. I told him I was moving out, that I needed two days, and not to bring her by in the meantime. I was done. I told him she would do the same to him, and then, out of spite, shared that I had found downloaded child pornography on his computer a few weeks earlier. I’d been meaning to talk with him about getting help, but it is a hard topic to breech.They left. I was destroyed. I lost my BF, and a girl. I spent two days moving everything I owned out. I was pissed. As much as I’d seen it coming, I was cold angry, like ice. For me, that isn’t good. I’m not violent, or loud, but lack empathy.Early the next morning, I heard them laughing coming in the place. It woke me up and I’m a hard sleeper. I met them at the door. I said they weren’t welcome, he could come in, or she could, but not both. I was adamant.A few days later a called Rich’s parents. I told them that though Rich and I may no longer be friends, I cared, and they needed to help him with the Child Pornography I’d found. They weren’t happy, and I hope they believed me.Two months later Rich called and told me Anivia and him had broken up. She had moved from out of state with him, then left him. All in 2 months. He invited me to lunch for my Birthday, and I accepted. It was an uneasy lunch, but we had been BF’s for so long. I enjoyed it. We laughed. At the end he asked if I wanted to hang out the next day.I thought about it a bit, and I said no. I told him he would always be my friend, but I things couldn’t go back to how they were. I said lets hang out in a week and go from there.We never spoke again. He moved cross country to where his parents had relocated a few weeks later. I send an email or Birthday card once a year, but nothing comes back. I know he blames me. A mutual friend has told me he waiting for me to apologize for something specific. I have apologized for what I feel was my share.I am not blameless, neither is he.His mom and I have spoken a few times, she has told me not to give up on him. It has been a decade. He eventually made it back to school and is on track.After this happened I pulled my life together, went to school, did well, graduated with a 3.6 after failing a few semesters in the past. I received a full tuition scholarship to a solid MBA program. I’m married and have 4 beautiful kids, but I do still miss Rich, and wish him happiness in life.From what I can tell Anivia pulled her shit a few more years then settled down. Good for her if she isn’t screwing with peoples lives.Oddly, I can’t decide if the situation was a blessing or a curse.
