[discuss] H.R 4367 : Internet Stewardship Act of 2014

[James Seng]

A related H.R. 4342 "Domain Openness Through Continued Oversight Matters
Act of 2014" (or as is Republican Rep. John Shimkus called it "DOTCOM Act
of 2014") further along process and already gathered 11 co-sponsors.

So given the House of Representative is mostly controlled by Republican, I
think either of these two H.R is going to get through.

Question is whether it would actually have any effect on the process
remains unknown.
