For the sake of ease, I'll quote from the mailing list announcement with details about our General Counsel: "A little more about Geoff's background: Most recently, Geoff was Vice-President and Deputy General Counsel at eBay. There, he directed legal affairs in more than 15 countries throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, encompassing litigation, copyright and trademarks, privacy, ethics, product and site content review, policy and regulatory compliance, new market advice, contracts, governance and site security. Previously he worked for eBay in Bern, Switzerland for four years as Vice-President & Senior Director, and in Paris, France for two years as Senior Compliance and Litigation Counsel." I'll add that Geoff relocated here to the WMF from Paris, where he was living when we hired him.
