Internet Societal Task Force Roadmap Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

ISTF has [s]talked since first with Vint
Some sought to scan tomorrow's open source.
Tis time we walked unaided on our course
Future trends anticipating, mint
Ideals which stand the test of time, gold glint.
Strength shines out through consensus not through force,
Through understanding issues! Reinforce
First principles, the mission we imprint
In trust stands out to network. Take the hint
Share knowledge, raise awareness, and endorse
The right to freedom which to all, perforce,
Fine rings though few do practice, many stint.
IS Task Force steady, which won't self defeat?
IS Task Force ready, challenges to meet?

Some talk of structures predefined with skill
Others of those constituencies which
Can be informed, or made aware, enriched.
Internet as rainbow vector will
Enliven, colour, change or sometimes kill
The status quo to flow, to grow to switch
Accepted views, traditions, and unstitch
Links which once bent mankind to rulers' will.
The rate of change increases yet we still
Are tempted to retain old habits, kitsch.
Some dare not redefine thought frames that itch.
Knowledge cross-pollination won't stand still,
FOR we must act, anticipate, and guide,
CEment, explain, invent the future's tide!
