Subject: RE: [egov-comment] Public Comment; Markle Report pushes for Improved Information Sharing


Dear all,

For those interested in information sharing, I would like to alert you to a
recent report issued by the Markle Foundation Task Force for National
Security in the Information Age.  It can be found at
http://www.markletaskforce.org/. In it, it calls for the creation of a "new
Information Sharing Institute. The Institute could make operational and
professional expertise available beyond that of individuals working in any
particular government agency, department, or contractor. This Institute
would provide a mechanism to identify and distribute best practices, and to
apply technologies available in other sectors. It should have the full and
active participation of organizations from federal, state, and local
governments as well as the private sector."

The ICH, along with over 50 public/private partners have been working
diligently in standing up the Institute for Information Sharing, and
launched the effort last month.  Meeting notes, white papers and Govt wide
contracts are now posted at www.ICHnet.org.   The site is not well organized
yet, but is rich in substance and content.   

As this effort helps agencies APPLY standards by understanding the business
value of technology, this could be a significant augmentation to the work of
OASIS and other like minded groups.  

Your comments welcome.  The next stake holders meeting will be in early
August.
