[Chapter-delegates] Pew Internet and American Life Project Survey

[David McAuley]

Dear Chapter Delegates:

You are receiving this email because The Pew Internet & American Life
Project is surveying the membership of some major technology-related
organizations and has asked me to invite members of the Internet Society
to participate.
 
I have reviewed the survey and think it is worth your time to respond.
It takes about 15-20 minutes and there is ample opportunity for you to
explain your views about where the world is heading. This is
international in scope. 
 
The Project's web-based survey asks respondents to assess a number of
predictions about the future impact of the internet on social,
political, and economic activities. It follows a 2004 survey of nearly
1,300 people who assessed the expected impact of the internet over the
next decade (results can be viewed at
www.elon.edu/predictions/survey_04.aspx).
 
This is a confidential survey. The Pew Internet Project analysts will
not disclose your identity if that is your preference, though they
encourage you to take credit for your thoughts.  Each question provides
the opportunity to "sign" your response and thereby have responses
credited to you personally. 
 
You will find the survey at: http://www.psra.com/experts

At the start of the survey, please enter the following personal
identification number (PIN): 1111. That allows the survey analysts to
know where respondents got their invitation to participate.
 
The Pew Internet Project will issue a report on this survey in the
winter of 2006.
 
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Pew Internet
Project Director Lee Rainie at lrainie at pewinternet.org or 202-419-4500.

I hope you will find this of interest.

Best regards,
David
