Scooplet: Mike Godwin to R Street
SCOOPLET: MIKE GODWIN TO R STREET — Mike Godwin, the tech policy expert behind the Internet meme Godwin’s Law, will be director of innovation policy and general counsel at the R Street Institute. Godwin’s been a counsel at EFF, CDT, PK and Wikimedia, and most recently worked at Internews. Godwin will lead the Institute’s research and advocacy efforts on patents, copyright and other technology. He’s jumping into the fray immediately, too: He’s set to moderate a panel on copyright with Rep. Jared Polis on Jan. 26 — his first day of work.
