The House voted to approve H. Con. Res. 127, the "sense of the House" resolution backing a multistakeholder model of Internet governance. The resolution does not have the force of law, but instead indicates Congress' support of that model. Both Republicans and Democrats are concerned that at an upcoming treaty conference in Dubai in December -- the World Conference on International Telecommunications -- some of the 193 members, led by Russia and China, will attempt to extend ITU's oversight of international phone traffic to Internet traffic.
