Did I really?

I recall that I asked why Google would want to pay a Sector Member fee
to join a
body where they had no vote, but i didn't lament the fact that they
didn't have a vote.

Again, it's very boring when you try to speak for me.

Is this a statement or a question?

The use of "it is" makes me think it is a statement, which would be
another example of you trying to speak for me.

I think you meant "is it", which would make it a question, no?

The answer is that I do not want inter-governmental regulation
of/for/about the Internet.

Frankly, I don't want much "Internet related regulation, laws and
policies" being made my country either!
