7. Who this toolkit is for
This toolkit is for volunteers and staff involved in establishing and managing emergent and developed VOPEs.  
If your VOPE has just started out, this resource is for you.
If your VOPE has been around for a long time, but you are interested in making it more transparent or active, this resource is also for you.

8. What this toolkit is
NOT An exhaustive list of topics to which VOPEs should pay attention
It is a good collection of information for VOPEs to start to consult
BUT it does not replace the kind of information that an experienced professional or trained information specialist might be able to advise on.
All of the material is included as is, and there is no guarantee that the material will be appropriate in your context.
