The Markle Foundation

"Markle works to realize the potential of information technology to address previously intractable public problems for the economic security, health, and national security of all Americans." The foundation advocates for greater integration of information technologies, particularly in the service of national security. In 2009, the Markle Task Force offered a list of suggestions to the Obama Administration and Congress on deterring domestic terrorism. This included the tip that "information sharing works well in Iraq and Afghanistan because the sense of shared mission is great. These lessons, learned in the field, can work back home."
