Schatz Statement on IANA Transition

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i), Ranking Member of the Senate Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, Innovation, and the Internet, released the following statement on the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) transition.

“The Senate continues to reject any efforts to block the IANA transition.  These efforts represent a fringe view that defies all logic.  Technology and foreign policy experts from across the political spectrum agree that any delay of this transition would only empower our enemies and break our long-standing commitment to the global community to keep the internet open and free.”
