Hi, everyone!

My name is Pedro de Perdigão Lana, a lawyer and researcher from Curitiba, Brazil, and an activist on intellectual property rights and internet governance.

Currently, I'm part of the board of the Youth Observatory (a SIG/Special Interest Chapter from Internet Society), as the Head of the Editorial Commission, and of the board of Creative Commons Brazil, as the Open Science coordinator. I'm also a member of the NCSG/ICANN, the brazilian chapter of Internet Society and the Brazilian Association of Intelllectual Property (ABPI). I dedicate my time mostly to my research and coordination work in GEDAI (roughly translatable as "Research Group on Copyright and Industrial Rights"), a brazilian study group that promotes the public interest perspective on intellectual property discussions and governamental debate.
