I'm proposing Kent Mewhort to join the OD AC. If you've been reading
mails from this list at all, you know his contributions.

Bio provided by him:

Kent is a lawyer and a software engineer, with interests in the
intersections between law, policy and technology.  He is the CTO of
EtheloDecisions, a social enterprise developing collaborative and
equality-focused alternatives to majority-vote decision making.  He is
also a consultant for the Samuelson Glushko Canadian Internet Policy
and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC), where he develops and maintains
the licensing information website CLIPol.org.  He has previously
worked as a public interest staff lawyer at this clinic, concentrating
on client files and advocacy work in the area of open licensing.  He
is the legal project lead of Creative Commons Canada.  Kent holds
degrees in civil law and common law from McGill University and a
computer science degree from the University of British Columbia.
