The Internet Way of Networking team is comprised of staff members from all six of our regions. The documents<br><br> in the Toolkit represent the input and feedback of that team and their perspectives as well as input from our community. We received feedback (both via the PDP and in pre-PDP small-group webinars) from 34 Chapter members in 22 countries, seven Global members,<br><br> four Organizational members, and six partners representing all six of our regions and a wide variety of backgrounds.</div><br><br><div style="margin:0px;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br><br><br><br><br></div><br><br><div style="margin:0px;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><br><br>I full appreciate the need for diversity -- not only in this piece, but in all of our work.
