Hi everybody,

Today at 15:00 UTC (10:00 ET) the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation will be holding a hearing on "Preserving the Multistakeholder Model of Internet Governance".  

Among those testifying will be ICANN CEO Fadi Chehade and NTIA Assistant Secretary Larry Strickling.

Live audio of the hearing is scheduled to be available worldwide, courtesy of C-Span,  at http://www.capitolhearings.org .

In preparation for the meeting folks might want to review the July 2014 letter to ICANN Board Chair Steve Crocker from Committee members Senator John  Thune and Senator Marco Rubio. The letter may be accessed here: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/thune-rubio-to-crocker-31jul14-en.pdf . With the recent change in Senate control Senator Thune is now Chair of the Commerce committee.

Best,

Ed
