>> expression and innovation. The Internet Society's strength is drawn 
>> from its global community of members who share a passion for the 
>> Internet and an unwavering commitment to the vision that the Internet 
>> is for everyone.  I'm especially proud to lead a group of strong and 
>> dedicated professionals who work to shape a policy environment that
