> and the workshops were organized in conjunction with them, providing
> workshop participants the opportunity to not only learn about and
> practice using the technology but also to meet key Internet leaders
> and establish worldwide professional connections. ISOC's consistent
> motto has been, "The Internet is for everyone," and I feel very
> grateful that we had the opportunity to make a significant move toward
> that objective for a large and important part of our world.
