[sudo-crowd] Introductions

Hello Sudo-Crowd. This mailing list has been around for a while and used infrequently. Now that the deadlines for creating an equity crowdfunding intermediary with FINRA is just around the corner, I was hoping that this list could have as its first objective to have sudo-crowd apply to be a crowdfunding intermediary. Otherwise, I thought that this list would facilitate better information sharing and collaborative work on crowdfunding generally and in Oakland in particular. So as for introductions - I'm Eddan of eddan.com. I was a co-founder and ex-Exchequer of Sudo Room and had been interested in collaborative business models that would be enabled by more horizontal capital flows since early on in discussion about Sudo Room's means of ownership and governance. My expertise is in Internet law - intellectual property, privacy, cybercrime - at both a domestic and international level. I live in Oakland with my wife and kindergarten age daughter, and generally work out of the 2141 Broadway space during the day. I believe strongly that a sense of ownership contributes to one's pride in what they do and investment beyond a salary. Interested to know who else is on here. I know that Caroline Lee is now on, who has been doing specific research on the Equity Crowdfunding provisions of the JOBS Act through the Sustainable Economies Law Center. I was hoping this could be a great forum in which to share knowledge and work through issues regarding crowdfunding with the unique expertise assembled. -Eddan +1-415-728-5800
