CTO Rumors
Government Technology indicates that two major media outlets, The New York Times and the BBC, are reporting that President-elect Obama will announce his pick for White House Chief Technology Officer this week. Among the speculative short listers is Science Progress adviser Vint Cerf:
Possible selections for the national CTO, among many others, are Vint Cerf, a “father” of the Internet who is now Google’s chief Internet evangelist; former FCC adviser Julius Genachowski, who helped write Obama’s technology agenda; and a dark horse, Washington, D.C., CTO Vivek Kundra, who is advising Obama’s transition.
Mitch Kapor, founder of the Lotus Development Corporation and co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, penned the chapter of recommendations for the CTO in Change for America: A Progressive Blueprint for the 44th President. Read a summary of his suggestions here.
