Two tech related interesting events occurred this week, the first national CIO Secretary and the Director of Cybersecurity resigns. Vivek Kundra is the new National CIO and has some kind worlds on his preferences with some of the software as a service from Google in the video below.
“Rod Beckstrom's decision to step down as director of the National Cybersecurity Center comes as the White House is conducting a broad 60-day review of how well the government is using technology to protect everything from classified national security data to key financial systems and air traffic control.”
One of Ron Beckstrom’s big complaints about the Cybersecurity Center - shortage of money for the center and a difference of opinions on how the National Security Agency should be involved as well. This might be one big initial challenge for the new CIO to unravel and figure this one out. Normally in the business sector, the CIO of most organizations has security under their area of responsibility and this could also fall under the new Chief Technology position as well.
None the less, some new level of structure and chain of command will be immanent somewhere along the line, who will be in charge and in charge of what? BD

Here are 10 questions to help our new federal CIO gain some focus from another post on the web, I included 3 of the question I thought were ones that may be addressed quickly, based on what has been seen thus far with nominations.
1) Who's your boss?
2) How many CIOs will be reporting to you?
10) Before you immerse yourself too deeply into some severely hairy projects that you and you alone in all the world are capable of overseeing, we must ask: have you paid all your income taxes?
