How things get done
Limited income (members are organizations, not individuals)
A volunteer organization! – the staff largely coordinates volunteers1. Executive Director2. Director of Government Affairs3. Director of Programs
4. Surveys and Evaluation5. Meetings and Human Resources
6. Senior Communications Associate7. Manager of Membership and Information
Services8. Business Manager
9. Administrative Assistant

So, how’s it going?
The good news A disproportionate increase in research
funding A very significant expansion of the field
More programsBigger programsMore “connections”
Respect on campus A far stronger “middle tier” of programs Strong industry/university relations

DARPA Support for overall IT R&D is at best holding
steady University participation is dramatically
decreasingClassification of programsShortened research horizon12-month go/no-go evaluations
This is bad for DARPA and it’s bad for the nation
Decreased DARPA mind-share among some of the best researchers
Future manpower issues

DHS Simply doesn’t get it!
90% of S&T budget is for deployment, vs. research• DHS is generally ignoring research
<2% of budget is for cyber security
DHS is generally ignoring the nation’s infrastructure
The agency is focused almost entirely on WMD threats (bio, chem, rad) against individuals

Advances in IT drive advances in all other fields
Advances in IT power our economy Not just through the growth of the IT industry –
through Multi Factor Productivity Growth throughout the economy
Advances in IT are the cornerstone of our national security
Advances in IT change the way we live, the way we work, the way we learn, the way we communicate
IT is where the jobs are
Why IT?
