Brotman reviews the potential barriers facing the U.S. and others in pursuit of multistakeholder governance of the Internet?an authority shift that the U.S. and its allies argue is necessary to preserve the Internet's openness, flexibility, and global scalability. This approach, articulated over the course of several multilateral Internet governance meetings in the last several years, is opposed by some particularly authoritarian countries that would prefer greater government control over how the Internet functions within their borders. Despite this opposition, the U.S. and its allies are moving forward with this historic transition in Internet governance. < <http://www.brookings.edu/research/papers/2015/07/20-multistakeholder-intern et-governance-brotman> http://www.brookings.edu/research/papers/2015/07/20-multistakeholder-interne t-governance-brotman> Why Ted Cruz is holding up a crucial Internet policy bill Sen.
