LWVUS Internet Neutrality Taskforce Background Papers

Summary of Study

The delegates to the LWVUS Convention in 2006 adopted a resolution that stated: “Resolved that the League of Women Voters of the United States support the concept of Internet Neutrality by: Calling upon Congress to protect equal access to the Internet.” This resolution was based on the LWVUS position on Citizens Right to Know/ Citizen Participation.

In order to provide essential background information and supporting material for this interpretation of position, a Taskforce was formed.
