[NCUC-DISCUSS] US House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing in two hours

[William Drake]

Hi

It should be noted that there will be a very different hearing later on that will also be telecast.  The Subcommittee on Communications and Technology will hold a hearing on Wednesday, May 13, 2015, at 2:00 p.m EST, “Stakeholder Perspectives on the IANA Transition.”  Two NCUC speakers will testify, Brett Schaefer of the Heritage Foundation and Matt Shears of CDT.  Also testifying will be Danielle Kehl of the Open Technology Institute, who’s coauthoring a series of papers with David Post, a NCUC member.  So all is not lost…:-)
