[CCWG-ACCT] Update on the Status of the Transition Negotiations In Congress

[Greg Shatan]

> The latest GOP offer also included a provision sponsored by Sen. Ted Cruz
> (R-Texas) that would delay plans for the U.S. government to give up control
> over a global nonprofit that oversees the internet domain system.
> Cruz told reporters that he is “cautiously optimistic” that it will be
> included in the final package.
> But the Obama administration strongly opposes the delay and Democrats have
> been unwilling to accept that addition unless language is also included
> that would free the Export-Import Bank to approve more deals.
> The bank is supposed to have a five-member board, but only two of the
> slots are currently filled due to Republican opposition to confirming more
> members. A third is needed to reach quorum to review deals over $10
> million. The provision being pushed by Democrats would eliminate the need
> for a quorum.
