  1. spreadsheet oversight

    In a financial services industry that is driven by mere spreadsheets (though enormous ones) they should be automatically be monitored and reported upon. They are impossible to truly monitor by the human eye. There is technology to do this to check for human error, FRAUD, etc at a cell level, all in the background. Why is this not mandatory as many of the discoveries of finserv issues, fraud etc have come about trom the spreadsheets? What do you folks think. For example, see www.clusterseven.com

  3. Ensure that Internet and the new technologies will be used to pursuit freedom of act and thinking.

    Ensure that Internet and the new technologies will be used to pursuit the
    freedom of act and thinking. New technologies must be used to improve
    the freedom of the people. They must allow to communicate freely and safely even in
    those countries (like China, Cuba, North Korea, etc.) that are actively
    denying the right to express any kind of ideas that is not in line with governments or with some economic/military entity.

  9. Create web infrastructure for research funding decisions

    The decisions for funding biomedical research proposals at the NIH and elsewhere is made by 'study sections', small panels of experts who travel periodically to Bethesda and work in private in a quasi-democratic way. Making decisions on the distribution of our tax dollars more transparent and democratic would be helpful and speed progress, though participants would still have to be vetted. This would have the effect of making decisions evidence-based and rational, and reduce the influence by political appointees. Bush appointees set priorities in a faith-based fashion, reducing research on subjects like reproductive health while emphasizing study for topics such…

  10. Implement a national rfid tagging program

    A national mandatory rfid tagging program if done in a secure mannor would solve many of our issues. It would virtually eliminate identity theft if all credit, banking info was on an embeded rfid tag. This could be made comletely secure by using a three factor authentication rfid/retnal scanner/vein reader. We could also use such a system to track forigners here on a visa etc. Basicaly this would be a big bother solution and the technology is already here.

  11. Establish new policies for quality broadband in libraries

    We need high-quality Internet connections in libraries. The federal government should take the lead in ensuring libraries have the resources and funding needed to purchase, install, and maintain fast Internet connections for patrons who don't have computers at home.

  18. Add a donation option to all government websites

    Create a donation area that lists the government departments. Allow donations to these areas. Sub-categories could also be listed to allow more targeted giving. This will all people to support their special interests and remove some of the current budget burden. In addition, it might also remove, though not eliminate, the need to find more creative ways to tax. It does not have to be tax deductible because that would actually lessen what was given.

  19. Proactively reduce the key risk of a CTO, Re-invention

    USG CTO should operate under the premise that:

    1. Ninety-Five Percent (95%) of all innovation needed to fulfill the USG's mission has likely been initiated.

    2. Expect that within the realm of USG Departments, commercial concerns, and US higher education institutions, the key components of an effective technology strategy have already been considered, prototyped and and in many cases deployed,

    3. The primary goal of USG CTO must be to prune an overgrown forest of ideas and from it define a coherent, broad, yet practical technology strategy that addresses the full scope of challenges facing USG,

    4. When Innovating, the CTO should focus like…

  20. Establish a Clear and Consistent Role for Departmental CTOs

    Given that the USG CTO's primary mission is the development of Infrastructure and Strategy, the Departmental CTOs should focus on Operations, particularly efforts to consolidate, design, engineer, test, communicate, implement, monitor, maintain and improve operations in support of the respective USG Department. The USG Department and USG CTO missions are complimentary. Departmental CTOs will be expected to efficiently meet the objectives of their Department by leveraging strategy and infrastructure improvements from USG CTO.
