Thanks. Don't view Congress as an adversary. There's broad bipartisan support for the multistakeholder model. When the message is "support the stakeholders" it resonates. Philip S.

Agree with Philip's analysis of the situation.
IMHO developments to track in Washington D.C. over the coming months include:
- Efforts by ICANN and others to brief congressional staffers, congressional members, and key think tanks in the DC area in regards to the IANA transition.
- Extent (or not) of bipartisan support for the IANA transition as proposed by the communities
- Report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) on ICANN/IANA. Report once released will likely form the basis of one or more congressional hearings.
- Efforts my congressional members to introduce bills and/or amendments related to IANA/ICANN issues in the appropriations process. NTIA funding, for instance could be made conditional to changes to IANA and/or ICANN

Based on my soundings I expect there will be increased Congressional oversight of the IANA transition and ICANN accountability in the new Congress that starts in January. It is entirely premature to speculate whether those hearings will result in any legislative proposals. While Republicans will control the Senate for the next two years any legislation would need at least some bipartisan support to move forward.
