As a CIA field asset I doubt he has very much choice in the matter. 
Being an admitted space alien though, he could call his home planet for help and/or rescue.
There will be regulation. That is 100% certain.
Oh really? Nothing is 100% certain, who knows what the future holds
What if one third of us ...

What gives the "regulators" the right to regulate us? If I was Gavin I would ignore regulators!
The "regulators" will disregard civil liberties as usual and "regulate" them into oblivion, no matter what anyone innocent (and unable to bribe evil out of being evil) does.
Whether that is true or not, and it cannot be known one way or another that this point, the system engineering of Bitcoin should assume this to be the case.
Bitcoin is no longer in a position where it is at risk of disappearing for lack of interest. This affords the opportunity to be defensive in system architecture if so chosen.
Indeed, the biggest threat to Bitcoin at this point is probably alternate distributed crypto-currencies. Bitcoin could lose this struggle if it capitulates and exposes itself willingly to subversion by 'the powers that be' while others make an effort to be robust in this area. If it does (and it appears likely at this point) I will be cheering it's demise...even while sitting on at least a fraction of my hoard.

33 floor. Should Gavin decline? Ask Michael Jackson.

Well, you elected officials who passed laws compelling you. You gave them the right.Of course, this means we could elect new officials who undo the laws. It is really up to your participation in government.
Gavin was invited and could refuse. That would be a very wrong move in my opinion. There will be regulation. That is 100% certain. What is not certain is if the community will engage with regulators or hide and just hope the regulators do a good job. We need to make our voices heard. And not by preaching to each other, we need to contact our elected officials, regulators, law enforcement, etc.

With only a few more days to go before the meeting, I here by declare my opinion poll, a resounding success.

While it may appear that we, who oppose this collaboration with these indignants, have lost, we have in fact won !
WE ARE THE 33% ! .. and counting..
WE represent the 90% of the world's population who do not have the resources and/or the capability to participate.
WE represent the enslaved, war torn peoples of the world.
WE, the real majority, WILL DEMAND JUSTICE !
VERITAS AEQUITAS !
So be it.

Charles Lee ROCKED the New York State Department of Financial Services BitLicense Hearing. Watch it if you can.

When asked by Benjamin Lawsky about risks to the Bitcoin network Lee responded in all seriousness: "If the government is concerned about the security of the network, they should start mining."
Now that is how distributed consensus works!

Gavin is probably the best Bitcoin's advocates out there.
To make the CFR happy? You are, in fact, probably right. It doesn't take a hard-core cryptoanarchist to consider that as being in the 'damned with faint praise' category.
i am missing the option "let gavindecide what he wants to do"
Did you miss the "non-binding" part posted in the OP ?
Does our freedom to express ourselves bother you ?
anything posted on this forum is not-binding for gavin.
its my freedom to express that i think the poll is unfair.
Correct. Thus why I named the thread as I did.
This is our opportunity to tell the World, how we feel about an unelected centralized authority, eg. the BTC foundation, and the company they keep.
Fairness, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Nobody saw that coming. lol.
The 10-20% (the rich), won't see the other 80% of us coming either.
