NoteThe source confirms that Daniel Weitzner was one of the founders of CDT and that the organization was founded in December 1994. However, the record lists him as 'Co-Founder' while the source lists five founders total (Jerry Berman, Janlori Goldman, Deirdre Mulligan, Jonah Seiger, and Daniel Weitzner). The source does not explicitly use the nickname 'Danny' but refers to him as 'Daniel Weitzner.' The startDate of 1994 is confirmed (specifically December 1994). The role is confirmed as a founder, though the source lists multiple co-founders rather than singling out Weitzner as 'the' co-founder. This is a partial confirmation because the record is incomplete (omits the other founders) but not inaccurate.
