  3. Generic to All Tribes Open Source Collection Multi-media processing Analytic toolkits Analytic tradecraft Operations security Defensive counterintelligence Leadership skills Training & culture skills Unique to Some Tribes National clandestine & covert collection, offensive CI Military targeting, mobility Police arrest & interrogation Business fiscal accountability Media attention-getting skills NGO humanitarian values Religious faith-based insights Ethnic blood-based insights Abstract #2: ISO Standards

  4. Abstract #3: Multi-Lateral Sharing 80% of Global Intelligence Will Be Via: • Shared Collection--Open, Human, Technical • Shared Processing--Data Entry, Translation • Shared Analysis--Multi-cultural, indigenous 20% of National Intelligence Will Be Via: • Unilateral or bi-lateral secret collection • Unilateral or bi-lateral secret analysis

  5. Abstract #4: Public Intelligence • Intelligence as mixed public-private good • Must be taught in all schools at all levels • Public intelligence will drive public policy • Greatest impact will be on total national budgets--allocations among the instruments of national power (less on military, more on diplomacy, intelligence, public health, etc.) • Art of the long view will re-emerge.

  23. Conclusion • The new craft of intelligence is the best hope for world peace through a world brain. • A United Nations Open Decision Information Network (UNODIN) is a possibility. • We work for the public. Only by educating the public, creating Smart Nations, can secret and open intelligence endeavors hope to succeed. • Millions more will die before we get it right. • There is no time to waste--we must start now.
