National Security, Technology and Privacy
Lemmey served as a co-chair of the Technology Working Group on the Markle Foundation's Task Force on National Security in the Information Age. The Task Force provided recommendations to the U.S. government on intelligence and homeland security post 9/11. From 2002 to 2012, the Markle Task Force has offered a broad vision and detailed recommendations on the key policy and technology issues affecting the creation of a trusted information environment. These recommendations have been adopted by executive order and codified in two pieces of federal legislation and led to the creation of Information Sharing Environment.
Lemmey was on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Privacy Advisory Committee, which provides external expert advice to the Department’s Secretary and the Chief Privacy Officer on matters relating to privacy and civil liberties preservation in relation to national security improvements.
Earlier she was President of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and was on the founding board of TRUSTe.

Famous quotes containing the words national, technology and/or privacy:
“Maybe it’s understandable what a history of failures America’s foreign policy has been. We are, after all, a country full of people who came to America to get away from foreigners. Any prolonged examination of the U.S. government reveals foreign policy to be America’s miniature schnauzer—a noisy but small and useless part of the national household.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
“The privacy of reading frees us to entertain the alien.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
