Sb Committee Comes to order. Good afternoon. And welcome to our witnesses and audience members. Let me thank you all of you, for coming, and for participating in this subcommittee hearing. Right here. I think were all pretty familiar with this new virtual setting. But because this is our First Virtual hearing of this subcommittee, i want to take a moment to provide members with a few reminders before we begin. We will proceed in the same fashion as this committee always has. We will begin with Opening Statements by the chair and Ranking Member. Followed by testimony from our witnesses, and an opportunity for every member to inquire for five minutes. We will dispense with our practice of the given and instead go in order of seniority for questioning alternating between minority and majority members. Members are advised that the clerk may mute those who are not speaking in order to limit background noise and feedback. However, all members are responsible for unmuting themselves when they
Right here. I think were all pretty familiar with this new virtual setting. But because this is our First Virtual hearing of this subcommittee, i want to take a moment to provide members with a few reminders before we begin. We will proceed in the same fashion as this committee always has. We will begin with Opening Statements by the chair and Ranking Member. Followed by testimony from our witnesses and an opportunity for every member to inquire for five minutes. We will dispense with our practice of observing the gibbons rule and instead go in in order of seniority for questioning, alternating between minority and majority members. Members are advised that the clerk may mute those who are not speaking in order to limit background noise and feedback. All members are responsible for unmuting themselves. When they are recognized for their five minutes or when they otherwise seek recognition. I want to thank you all for your patience as we navigate this new technology. In order to continu
A weve been looking forward to this those of you on the trigg trigger. I get to moderate this fabulous discussion today, and we are here to launch the book the global struggle to governee the internet. It was Rebecca Mackinnon spoke also a new america book and i was struck when i was reading through the acknowledgments to see in the consent to say few people have had as much influence on online thinking as that book and i thought that is wonderful and you have to have returned that before you knew we were doing this event.
