Rohit Khare got involved with microformats.org by volunteering to host it while he was Director of CommerceNet Labs. He graduated from UC Irvine and currently lives in New York City and working on new approaches to publish/subscribe middleware (see KnowNow, a company he co-founded in that area).

Legal Point of Contact for microformats.org

In particular, his informal role in the microformats.org admin team is being the first line of contact on legal queries. Many issues regarding copyright, intellectual property, and other issues have been raised on the mailing lists and on the wiki. He would like you to contact him before posting, if at all possible and appropriate -- while we're all in favor of free and open discussions, there are certain potential legal implications to writing on permanently archived forums that may be better addressed by phone. Please mail him at khare -AT- alumni caltech edu or call his mobile directly at +1 650 714 5529.

Your Contributions can be put in the Public Domain

Rohit supports the widest possible reuse of microformats.org content by placing all of his own contributions in the public domain... this is one, bottom up way you can help address the Legal Entity and IP issues raised on microformats-issues by placing your own contributions under these terms as well. Just put {{public-domain-release}} on your user profile page, like this:

Released into public domain
I agree to release my text and image contributions, unless otherwise stated, into the public domain. Please be aware that other contributors might not do the same, so if you want to use pages with my contributions under public domain terms, please check the other contributors' user pages.
