The Center Joins Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee

The Center has recently joined forces with a collection of IT industry groups, non-profit associations and public interest groups as a part of the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee’s mission is to educate Congress and the public about important Internet-related policy issues.

The Congressional chairs of the Internet Caucus, which is made up of a bi-partisan group of over 150 members of the House and Senate, are Representatives Bob Goodlatte

(R-VA) and Rick Boucher (D-VA) and Senators Conrad Burns (R-MT) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT).

As a member of the caucus' advisory committee, the Center will argue against over-burdensome Congressional legislation that would hamper continued advancements in e-commerce. At the same time, the Center will address issues such as consumer privacy and intellectual property concerns in the new digital economy.
