However, there are a couple of items for which further review of existing tools and activities has been suggested such as increase pool of PDP WG volunteers and improve online tools & training which could possibly benefit from a small group undertaking this work in collaboration with staff. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black'>If there are any further comments and/or edits that you wish incorporated, please let me know.
