Scorecard to Measure Human, Social, Enviro Results
We need an integrated economic- environmental- social strategy for government -- and preferably across all three sectors (business, NGOs and government) -- that tracks human, social and environmental results with an overall performance scorecard.
By measuring these quantifiable improvements – and how they drive economic vitality – an Obama administration could better track the "ROI" of programs, budgets, tax incentives, regulatory choices, and cross-sector incentives to stimulate an improved society.

universally affordable internet-enabled mobile devices
Great strides towards broadband accessibility are being made in many communities. In fact, such a proposal is getting many votes on this site However, we also need to make sure that the devices to use Internet resources are available. Libraries and other public access sites are helpful, but most of the new technologies work best when access is ubiquitous.

Authentication to support secure electronic services
The push for a 21st centruy government hits a wall with knowing just who is at the other end of the connection. It is hard if not impossible to file for many government benefits or services at state, local and federal level because of the inability to clearly identify who the parties to the transaction are. A shift to secure online government services at a certain level requires some ways to address the citizen authentication issue in order to protect their privacy and avoid fraud. Can we do this while avoiding "big brother"?
