chapters on copyright law and management, and international intellectual property
law, published in six different languages. His book on the history and

proposes a licensing regime for file-sharing that could be implemented without
legislative amendments; the other proposes a new TRIPS-compatible international
norm in the field of copyright (the "reverse three-step test") that would protect
rightsholders yet facilitate both private and transformative reuse of copyrighted
material.

Doug Kellner has served as one of the ten commissioners of the New York
City Board of Elections since 1993. He is the Democratic commissioner from
Manhattan.
In his regular job, Commissioner Kellner is a partner in the law firm of
Kellner Chehebar & Deveney. He specializes in the area of real estate litigation
and represents a large number of tenants groups, cooperatives, and some non-profit
institutional landlords. Mr. Kellner received considerable attention in 1986 when
he revived the Bawdy House Law, first enacted in 1840, and used it as a device
where neighbors could seek to evict drug dealers. His use of this law for that
purpose was quickly copied by district attorneys and housing authorities throughout
the country.
Before he became commissioner, Mr. Kellner was the election lawyer for
the Democratic Party in Manhattan. He has argued more than forty election cases
before the New York State Court of Appeals, the highest court in the state. Perhaps
because of his experience as an election lawyer, he became an outspoken advocate
for ballot access reform.
Commissioner Kellner led the opposition to the implementation of
the 1992 contract to replace New York City's lever voting machines with electronic
voting machines, but he has also been instrumental in promoting new technology for
scanning absentee and provisional ballots. He drafted model procedures to open the
process of canvassing ballots to public scrutiny and convinced his fellow
commissioners to adopt rules that provided meaningful due process in ballot
challenges.
Most recently, he led a successful battle to restore devices to New York
City'S lever voting machines to prevent voters from leaving the voting machine
without casting a valid vote. He has become a voice for reform in an agency that
has often been the last to hear that call.
