James Love from Knowledge Ecology International sez, "Kira Kira Alvarez is the Deputy Assistant USTR for Intellectual Property Enforcement, and the chief negotiator on ACTA. According to her Linkedin bio, Kira was previously Vice President, Global Public Policy at Time Warner, and Director, International Government Affairs at Eli Lilly. She also worked in the past for USTR and the Department of Commerce. This blog gives some further background details, including the reports from her 2006 lobbyists' reports from Eli Lilly. It is always useful to know something about the people who are doing these negotiations."
