Taray Lemmey, Chair, Technology Committee of the Markle Task Force on National Security in the Information Age
CEO, LENS Ventures

Abstract
The talk will discuss the means by which the U.S. National and Homeland Security community is adopting a collective approach to information sharing and decision making in the wake of 9/11, based on the speakers experience chairing the Technology Committee of the Markle Task Force on National Security in the Information Age over the past four years. The work of this task force resulted in insights into a distributed approach to intelligence gathering, synthesis, and analysis that have implications not only for the Homeland Security community itself, but also for their counterparts around the world and in state government and the private sector. The task forces work resulted in legislation and executive orders to implement a collective intelligence network on a vast scale.
