<div style="font-size: small; text-decoration: none; font-family: Calibri; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; display: inline;">hi
all,
<div> </div>
<div>i filled out the Pew Research Center poll about “the Internet in 2025” on a
day when i was in a bad mood. i’m *sure* i said that the opinions
expressed were my own, but that was stupid — i should have completed the form as
an individual, not as your representative to the Council.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>the upshot is a bad misrepresentation — my view appearing to be
yours. i’ll try to send a correction, but the damage is done. i’m
learning a lot of valuable lessons in this new role you’ve elected me to.
unfortunately at your cost. i would be happy to resign if you think it
appropriate.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>i’m really sorry about this.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>here’s a link to the article (NPR is National Public Radio in the US — "all
tech considered” stories are generally broadcast on Monday evenings on NPR’s
national radio news program).</div>
<div> </div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></span><a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2014/03/11/288695332/the-internet-will-be-everywhere-in-2025-for-better-or-worse">http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2014/03/11/288695332/the-internet-will-be-everywhere-in-2025-for-better-or-worse</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>and here’s the quote:</div>

<div>The downside? Group-think, mob mentality and manipulation.<strong>
</strong>"The Internet will be used as the most effective force of mind
control the planet has ever seen, leaving the Madison Avenue revolution as a
piddling, small thing by comparison,"<strong> </strong>says Mikey O'Connor, an
elected representative to ICANN's GNSO Council, representing the ISP and
Connectivity Provider Constituency.</div></blockquote>
