     Hi Monique,

     I would go with two and a comma, that is: "non-native,
     English-speaking development team."

     Hello, WR-L-ers,

     It seems that all three hyphens would be need in this sentence: "My
     initial source material was a Word document authored by the
     non-native-English-speaking development team." But a three-hyphen
     string seems odd!

     Is this correct?
