The group is the Sunlight Foundation’s OpenHouse Project, which is studying House procedures and preparing a comprehensive report with recommendations on how to use the Internet to make Congress more transparent and thus more accountable to voters.

I am encouraged by this working group and look forward to recommendations on how the House can be as open and accessible to citizens as possible.”
