Information Infrastructure Task Force/Privacy Org

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.
