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.
