Am I the only ATEGer who doesn't know what an IDP is? I turned to Google for
enlightenment and found I had many choices, not limited to the following:

Insurance Data Processing
Internet Dictionary Project
Intrusion Detection Prevention
Intern Development Program
International Driving Permit
Ingersoll-Dresser Pump

I then tried Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDP>, which provided a
list of over twenty IDPs, including "Islamic Democratic Party (Rwanda)" and
the Amtrak stop abbreviation for Independence, Missouri.

I'm guessing none of those are it. I found IDP llinks to several education
sites, but they all seemed to assume that anyone using the site already
knows what an IDP is. I didn't give up, and—correct me if I'm wrong—I think
the IDP in our discussion is "Individual Development Plan."

Two cheers for acronyms.
