[Jeffrey A. Williams]

All,

  FYI and FWIW, the following challanging position has been
made known to me and others.  Seems that tis position without
a budget and only two staff would be very challaging for anyone,
but for someone that is up to the challange, I sure a very rewarding
opertunity.  Any takers?  If so contact Becky at
becky at openrightsgroup.org

See:
Executive Director, Open Rights Group

The Open Rights Group (ORG) is a UK grassroots technology organisation
which exists to protect civil liberties wherever they are threatened
by the poor understanding, implementation and regulation of digital
technology. We call these rights our "digital rights".

 From early 2009 ORG is seeking its next Executive Director. Reporting
to the Board, the post requires:

    * an effective advocate/campaigner with political and media
experience
    * ability to further build ORG's reputation as a rational and
relevant voice in the digital rights debate
    * full professional responsibility for day to day operations
    * plan and execute the medium-term strategy to keep ORG
financially sustainable
    * manage possible move to charitable status
    * line manager for ORG staff (currently two)
    * primary point of liaison with ORG supporters and volunteers
    * a self-starter able to build ORG even as he or she runs its
daily operations.

It is a challenging and responsible role. Rewards include the
opportunity to have a direct and substantial effect on contemporary
policy, and the chance to work with some of the smartest creative
minds in the place where geek world meets law, policy and activism.
While this is likely to be a fulltime post the Board will consider
part-time and jobshare applications.

Please apply with CV and covering letter to info [AT] openrightsgroup
[DOT] org. Deadline for applications is Wednesday 12 November.
