I like the idea of a CTO advisory position and Bill Joy should be on the short list.
As to Chief Security Officer, I can't think of anyone that belongs on the list besides Bruce Schneier. In fact, can we just give the FTA and Homeland Security positions to Schneier for a few months to let him write sensible rules for security? He already has most of the rational documented.
I do not like the idea of a CIO under-secretary, or whatever. A CIO trying to pull together "cost-saving" across government agencies would be a bureaucratic nightmare. Best to have gov agencies start to operate more agile on their own.
As a side note, Kleiner's flying a Turkish flag on his new sailing toy may raise awareness about how the rich offshore money and avoid taxes (yes, I do understand how high luxury yacht taxes are and that this is standard practice). Doerr may want to be careful about not attracting too much attention to his friends that make most their income on capital gains ;).
