It's actually worse than that.

OpenStreetMap has mappers all around the world.  Some of those places 
don't have the virtually unrestricted Internet access that people in the 
west may be accustomed to, and I wouldn't assume that a website of a 
major American company (Google) is available in all those places.  
Previously the Board and other OSMF working groups have taken care to 
ensure that everyone can contribute to surveys like this.  Of all 
people, I'd have expected the Communication Working Group to be aware of 
this potential issue and to have taken steps to ensure that it wasn't one.

Best Regards,

Andy
