The community might be interested in the two following events that occurred in the United States Senate this week:
Two Senators (Hatch and Blunt) introduced a resolution relating to the ICANN/IANA Transition: http://thehill.com/sites/default/files/hatch-blunt_internet_governance_awareness_week_resolution4_1.pdf
Meanwhile, Senator John Thune, Chair of the Senate Commerce Committee (the one that oversees the NTIA) gave a broad speech regarding his agenda for the coming year, which included mention of the IANA transition as well. A report on that speech is here: http://blogs.rollcall.com/technocrat/internet-governance-a-hearing-planned-and-a-resolution-introduced/?dcz=
