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.
