<BR>
The team from Imagining the Internet has a location in the IGF Village where we are recording your views in a survey of participants from all sectors. We would be honored if you would set aside 10 or 15 minutes of your time to share your thoughts. A number of people from this list gave input on the question set, as did some people from the staff at the UN secretariat for IGF.<BR>
<BR>
To get an idea of the way these interviews are published, you can look at the discussions recorded last year in Egypt here: <a href="http://www.elon.edu/e-web/predictions/igf_egypt/survey.xhtml">http://www.elon.edu/e-web/predictions/igf_egypt/survey.xhtml</a><BR>
<BR>
If you have participated in our interviews in previous years, we do welcome you to participate once again. This is a way to share your thoughts in a collection of input that may be used to inform policy, and it also serves as a documentation of our people and our time. The US Library of Congress is archiving this Web material as it is collected and posted.<BR>
<BR>
The question set had to primarily include questions of general interest to people outside the IGF. While all questions are tied to the present and future of people as the Internet evolves, there’s just one IGF-specific question. The questions were purposely left as open as possible so people would have the opportunity to speak about what they find most important. Following is a preview. Thanks to all who have assisted us! -- Janna Anderson<BR>

<B>THE INTERNET FIVE YEARS FROM NOW</B>: Intermediaries are at work as the Internet grows and people seek security, convenience, information filters, and so on.
