1. Establish a Privacy Organization. The President should direct the Information Infrastructure Task Force to advise on the establishment of a Privacy Organization within the executive branch to serve as a focal point for both public and private sector privacy issues. Such an organization would advise the President on privacy issues and concerns affecting Federal agencies; assist Federal agencies in identifying and resolving privacy issues related to the implementation of their programs; coordinate U.S. privacy policy with international organizations and foreign governments; and assist and advise State, local, tribal governments and private sector organizations with privacy issues and concerns. The IITF should provide the President with specific recommendations about the placement, membership, authority, powers, duties, (including budget and legislative relationships), and staff size of such an organization. If establishment of such an organization can be accomplished by executive order, the IITF should create a draft executive order for presidential approval. If specific legislation is needed, the IITF should provide a draft of such proposed legislation. In developing either/or both methods of establishing such an organization, the IITF should seek comment from experts in both the public and private sectors.
