3/26/2012--Introduced.
Expresses the sense of Congress that if a resolution calling for endorsement of the proposed international code of conduct for information security (the proposed code would establish international legal justification for exclusive government control over Internet resources instead of the current multi-stakeholder model) or a resolution inconsistent with open, global Internet principles comes up for a vote in the U.N. General Assembly or other international organization, the U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations or the U.S. representative to such other international organization should oppose such a resolution.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
