I’m sorry I wasn’t able to be here for your discussion earlier, but I look forward to hearing what you came up with.
As you know, I’ve been nominated by President Obama to be the next ambassador to China.
But even from across the globe, I want to remain up-to-speed on your thoughts on how to maintain a free flow of online commerce worldwide. And I want to do what I can, wherever my office may be, to ensure electronic information moves as freely as possible from country to country.

I want to begin by thanking Howard Schmidt for pulling this event together.
Almost a year ago, President Obama challenged the U.S. government to collaborate even more closely with the private sector to meet the evolving challenges of cybersecurity.
Today’s forum is emblematic of this improved public-private sector cooperation.
It can't be any other way.
The private sector owns and operates the vast majority of the Internet’s infrastructure, and it develops the applications and services that move commerce along atop of that infrastructure.
I want to thank our hosts today, TechAmerica, TechNet, the Churchill Club, Stanford University, and the TRUST Center.
And I want to thank all of you for joining us this morning.
There may be some other people here, who, like me, can remember when Time’s “Man of the Year” was a personal computer, and, according to reports, most of that story was composed on a typewriter.
That was in 1982, well before terms like “cyberspace” and “virtual reality” and “social networking” would enter the popular lexicon.

I am pleased to be here to speak in support of the draft communiqué on Internet policymaking principles. While previous speakers have discussed certain of the substantive provisions, I will focus my remarks on a key process for Internet policymaking—the multistakeholder model.
The United States enthusiastically and vigorously supports the use of the multistakeholder process as the preferred means of responding to Internet policy challenges.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee, for this opportunity to report on progress towards transitioning management of the Internet domain name system ("DNS") to the private sector.
Thank you to NCTA for inviting me to speak here today.
I’ve had the pleasure of attending many Cable Shows over the years and I am especially pleased to attend the inaugural show for your new President and CEO, Michael Powell. I had the great fortune to get to know Michael when he served as a Federal Communications Commissioner back when I worked for Chairman Kennard and he is a first-rate guy. He is smart and knowledgeable and extremely curious but most importantly, just a really good guy.
