CDT Releases Report Tracking Cyberspace Policy Review Privacy Action Items - CDT today released a report to help track the progress of the privacy "action items" contained in the Administration's recently released Cyberspace Policy Review.

The action items outlined in the CDT report were derived from the Review and President’s subsequent remarks on the document.

CDT has long promoted the goal of making driver’s license and ID card issuance more secure, as recommended by the 9/11 Commission. The PASS ID Act mitigates or corrects critical privacy and security flaws introduced by REAL ID while still establishing minimum federal standards for the issuance of driver’s licenses and ID cards.
