The initiative is outlined in a memorandum of agreement, recently signed by Dave Wennergren, DoD's deputy chief information officer, and John Brantley, deputy associate director of national intelligence for Intelligence Community Technology Management in the ODNI/CIO. The approach supports the department's Net-centric Data and Services Strategies, as well as the intelligence community's Information Sharing Strategy."
