Biographical Material:
Stanton McCandlish works as the Communications Director for the
CryptoRights Foundation. As such, he is the organization's press
manager, public relations lead, publications manager, and
Webmaster. He also participates in mission-critical technical
projects, such as leading Project HIGHFIRE's documentation. Stanton's
specialities are advocacy, media relations, information management,
technology policy analysis and technical writing.
Stanton was among
the world's first professional online activists, and came to
CryptoRights after working on issue campaigns, policy and online
communications at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) from 1993
to 2002, where he also ran one of the most-linked-to Web sites on the
entire 'Net. He has written a variety of articles and tutorials, been
quoted by most major US news publications on Internet policy issues,
and is co-author of the seminal privacy and e-activism handbook
Protecting Yourself Online: The Definitive Resource on Safety,
Freedom, and Privacy in Cyberspace (with Robert B. Gelman). He
also managed production of the updated online editions of
Everybody's Guide to the Internet (by Adam Gaffin), including
revision, management of multi-language translation, and online
distribution.
After studying computer science, technical writing and
anthropology/linguistics at the College of Santa Fé, Eastern
New Mexico University, and the University of New Mexico, Stanton did
technical consulting at UNM, as well as maintaining an early
independent electronic bulletin board system (BBS) and operating a
small press publishing operation in Albuquerque. Some of his current areas of
interest include electronic privacy, unsolicited bulk e-mail ("spam") issues, free
expression online, preservation of fair use of intellectual property,
and protection of the public's interest in the development of
technical standards.
He likes cats, plays billiards, and lives in not-so-sunny San Francisco.
