Dear Potus: Table 1

How to get more attention on technology policy?


 * 1) 	Find the human interest story that illustrates the issue
 * 2) 	Try to tell the story the way you want the story to be told (frame the story yourself)
 * 3) 	Who do you want to tell the story to?
 * 4) 	Activate the blogosphere – get them interested
 * 5) 	Look for existing groups as allies
 * 6) 	Anticipate the PR response (news that would try to block it), also the ‘story behind the story’ – like how banks know about the ID theft issue, but don’t do anything about it
 * 7) 	The impact on kids
 * 8) 	Get an activist professor on board
 * 9) 	Demo where you can (passport/RFID)
 * 10) 	Don’t frame it as ‘technology policy’, frame it as the issue that is underneath

Topics needing more attention/getting superficial attention


 * 1) 	Patents and software
 * 2) 	Bridge between the rhetoric between id theft and the law (make the ID theft issue clearer)
 * 3) 	Who owns the pipes? Who gets access to the pipes? Who determines how they are monitored?
 * 4) 	Access and education for the next generation
 * 5) 	Transparency
 * 6) 	Data collection by the government
 * 7) 	Anonymity and privacy
 * 8) 	Wiretapping story
 * 9) 	Idea that young people don’t care about privacy (even though they really do)
 * 10) 	Cyber bullying and stalking – existing laws aren’t used
 * 11) 	Who owns your information – governments calling up info and sharing it with others (like when you’re stopped at the border)
 * 12) 	Advertising, targeted advertising
