D. POLICY

1. Pursuant to the IRTPA, the DNI is committed to: 1) ensuring efficient integration of IC elements and their collection, analysis, production, and dissemination activities; 2) establishing and maintaining an effective, reliable, and collaborative capability; 3) providing maximum availability of DOMEX to all customers; 4) optimizing resource utilization; 5) and establishing effective burden sharing.

2. Within the IC:

[...]

c. IC elements will leverage burden sharing, partnerships, and outside capabilities (IC, public, private, other U.S. government and foreign partners), minimize unnecessary duplication of effort, and align DOMEX standards and procedures within the IC and between the IC and other government DOMEX activities to the maximum extent possible.

So, conceivably, we may now see a repeat of this. Or am I reading this incorrectly?

It makes official that intelligence now includes domestic spying as well as foreign intelligence; secret and not secret information. That is a major change.
