Voting at this UN Myworld site is an interesting priority adjustment 
exercise .  Only 300 responses from Canada, so give a try.  Hard to 
justify voting for Internet service, though, over very basic needs like 
food, water and political freedoms.  I see why it ended up at the bottom.

It is a bit of a scattered approach, I think, to collecting this kind of 
information. People, me included, tend to click first, then engage in 
deeper thought about the choices presented later.

A little off-topic, but a story today on the UN's crowdsourcing its new 
development plan that will replace the Millennium Development Goals when 
they expire in 2015

http://techpresident.com/news/wegov/23866/un-crowdsourcing-post-2015-development-goals

    The UN has organized conferences in almost 100 countries to discuss
    the future initiatives, UN Assistant Secretary-General Olav Kjørven
    writes in a blog post
    <http://www.guardian.co.uk/media-network/media-network-blog/2013/may/07/united-nations-crowdsource-global-development>.
    Individuals have also responded to a survey on a related web
    platform <http://www.worldwewant2015.org/>, World We Want 2015, by
    SMS and through an interactive voice response system (IVR) that
    recognizes local languages and dialects. The idea seems to be to
    reach people in person where technology is not ubiquitous and by
    mobile phone or Internet where that can reach broader audiences.

    The resulting report will be given to the UN secretary-general Ban
    Ki-moon and other global leaders at the UN general assembly in
    September 2013, who will take the information into account when
    finalizing the next global development plan.

Phone and Internet service are ranked right at the bottom, only trailed 
by transport and roads.
