[Chapter-delegates] FYI - a message about the FCC statement on Net Neutrality

[Dan York]

Chapter leaders,

FYI, we have now published a post from Mark Buell, our Regional Bureau Director for North America, related to the FCC's statement yesterday about their action to rollback their network neutrality order:

We need a more sustainable approach to Network Neutrality

At a high level, Mark's overall message could be summarized as:

1) While we didn’t like Title II, it is the case that it put SOME rules in place to protect users. Now those are gone and replaced with a weak notion of transparency.  
2) The US needs a sustainable approach that isn’t at the whim of the courts or Presidential elections.  
3) This isn’t the time to give up on our goals - we will continue to fight for the principles that make the Internet open.
