 Ronaldo Lemos took over the reigns from former iCommons Chairman, Joi Ito at a board meeting in Berlin yesterday. Ronaldo is no stranger to iCommons. He is the force behind Creative Commons Brazil and a number of commons-related projects including the Cultura Livre project, and the Open Business Project, an international initiative taking place in Brazil, Nigeria, Chile, Mexico, South Africa and the UK. Ronaldo is also one of the founders of Overmundo, the largest Web 2.0 iniative in Brazil - a project that he is helping iCommons to extend to its own community in 2007.
Ronaldo is excited about the future of iCommons: 'The future of iCommons is bright and we have important challenges ahead. Our first goal is to develop tools to empower the iCommons network, and to help the nodes of our community to speak out and act globally. Our meeting in Dubrovnic next June will consolidate our unique role of putting into practice new ideas regarding the future of culture, technology, and information policy.'
Although relinquishing his role as Chairman due to his recent appointment as Chairman of Creative Commons, Joi Ito will remain on the board of iCommons.
