Hi all,
Crowdsourced Internet censorship reporting site (and Berkman Center spin-off) Herdict is looking for a new CEO. If you know of someone who meets the qualifications below and is looking for a job, please pass this along!
Cheers,

Hi all,As many of you know, Herdict is evolving into a stand alone organization. Jonathan Zittrain announced this morning that we’re looking for a CEO to lead a newly spun-off Herdict organization. As he says in his post,
“Last summer we were awarded a $1.5M grant from the Omidyar Network to take Herdict further, which means setting it up as a standalone non-profit, partnering with browser makers to increase Herdict’s paths for gleaning and sharing data, exploring new ways of crowdsourcing, and securing additional funds (part of our grant is for matching contributions).
So, the new Herdict venture needs a CEO. The ideal candidate would have some combination of start-up experience, a rich human network (in the US and ideally, abroad), familiarity with the Net, and a commitment to turning Herdict into a sustainable nervous system for it. The CEO will build and lead our technology team to shape the future of Herdict, figure out how it can best integrate with other worthy efforts in this zone, and define what the boundaries will be of just what Herdict will aspire to do.
The team will be located in Cambridge, Massachusetts — so it will help if the CEO is prepared to live in the Boston area, or at least travel there regularly. The CEO will work closely with the board of Herdict and with faculty from the Berkman Center and members of the OpenNet Initiative as we figure out how to measure and preserve a free and open Internet. Salary competitive.” [full post here: http://futureoftheinternet.org/help-save-the-internet]
Herdict Web aggregates reports of inaccessible sites, allowing users to compare data to see if innacessibility is a shared problem. By crowdsourcing data from around the world, we can document accessibility for any web site, anywhere.
Please help us get the word out to the herd. Statements of interest can be sent to jo...@herdict.org
