12 We announced the inaugural Acceptable Ads Committee (AAC) about a month ago. Sin
ce we published [our last update](https://acceptableads.com/en/blog/first-update
), the committee has added a few new members and continued our search for the sp
ecial place at the table that is reserved for a “normal” user. | |

14 Did I say “normal”? Well, that’s a pretty poor descriptor for any of the candida
tes we’ve interviewed so far. Sure, they can represent the interests of millions
of “normal” users, like me for instance; and yeah, they’re “normal” in the sens
e that they don’t work in the ad industry (cuz let’s face it, most people don’t)
; but they’re definitely NOT “normal” in how knowledgeable, thoughtful or just p
lain awesome they are. On the contrary: like the position they’re taking – which
has never been offered to anyone unaffiliated with the ads industry in the hist
ory of the ads industry – there’s nothing “normal” about them. | |

16 We have no one to announce as the user representative just yet, but stay tuned f
or an announcement very soon. Meanwhile, the applications keep streaming in … | |

18 Beyond our quest to find this extraordinary user, we’ve been tracking down whip-
smart, forward-thinking people in and around the ads industry to fill more slots
on the AAC. As expected, there have been a few shake-ups and additions in the l
ast couple weeks or so. | |

20 - The first AAC meeting will be in New York on July 11! | |
21 - Gavin Hall of TED Talks has decided to take over the leading role in the Publi
shers and Content Creators member group from Kenton Jacobsen of Conde Nast; Kent
on has decided to leave because of previous commitments and the time constraints
of serving turned out to be too demanding to make the position tenable. We will
miss him, but we are excited to welcome Gavin! | |
22 - Tobias Eidem of BrandGlobe and former chairman of Sweden’s KIA-index, joined t
he Expert member group! | |
23 - Loic Dussart, formerly at Adap.tv or Virool, now at brand new video content pl
atform KOL as Chief Opreation Officer, joined the Publishers and Content Creator
s member group! | |

25 Next time we’ll announce that golden, certainly-not-normal user. In the meantime
