Obama taps Stanford professors, Google exec to lead policy advisory teams

Nov 19, 2008 (San Jose Mercury News - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) --
Barack Obama's transition team on Wednesday named two Stanford professors and a Google executive to lead three of his policy advisory committees, charged with identifying priorities and proposals for the new administration to pursue.

Stanford education professor Linda Darling-Hammond will lead the education committee. A veteran of the nation's school reform debate, she served as a key member of the campaign's education policy team, focusing on teacher quality and education equity issues. She is a leading critic of the Bush administration's much-debated No Child Left Behind law, and she is considered a possible pick for secretary of education.



Stanford law professor Mariano-Florentino Cuellar will head up the immigration committee. Cuellar was an adviser to the Clinton administration's Treasury Department and also advised the Obama campaign on a variety of issues, including immigration, criminal justice and Latino voter outreach.

Sonal Shah, head of Google.org's global development efforts, is one of three leaders of the technology, innovation and government reform policy working group. She also serves on the Obama-Biden transition advisory board. The other two technology team leaders are Blair Levin, a telecom and technology strategy analyst who served as chief of staff to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Reed Hundt under the Clinton administration, and Julius Genachowski, a technology



executive and attorney who also worked for Hundt and for Barry Diller's IAC/InterActiveCorp. He is a friend of Obama's from their Harvard Law School days.
