Bipartisan legislation calls for creating an independent, 16-member national commission on security and technology challenges. The legislation has eight co-sponsors in the Senate and 16 in the House. The commission would have two members drawn from each of the following fields: cryptography, global commerce and economics, law enforcement, consumer-facing technology, enterprise technology, the intelligence community and the privacy and civil liberties community. President Obama would appoint one non-voting member; three quarters of the commission must support its final recommendations.”]
