   When i want to communicate ''without'' divulging my identity (whistleblowing, etc), how can i be sure that my identity is protected?
  Reliability/Access::
-  Is the communications mechanism i'm using something i can rely on?  Who controls the mechanism?  Can the mechanism be shut down or interrupted?
+  Is the communications medium i'm using something i can rely on?  Who controls the medium?  Can it be shut down or interrupted?  Will it be there when i need it urgently?
 
 == Role Play ==
 
 We're going to lead a role play where each participant is issued an identity, objectives, and complicating restrictions.
+
+People in the room all stand in a circle, facing outward, away from each other, but with hands within reach. People do not walk around.  Each person has a pad of paper and a pen, and is issued an "e-mail address".
+
+One subgroup of people in the room is a group of activists, trying to select a time for their next action (a surprise picket, say).  They need to pick a time when as many of them can make it as possible, and they need to do this by writing notes on paper and handing them off around the room.
+
+Other scenarios/objectives?
+
+== Use Cases/Case Studies ==
+
+We're interested in discussing particular common scenarios.  We're not lawyers, so we won't get into legal advice.
+
+Some scenarios that we want people to think about are:
+
+ * Chinese dissident bloggers getting their personal info turned over to the authorities from their blog hosts
+ * Upstream ISPs shutting down your site in response to a DMCA cease'n'desist or other thread of legal action.
+ * Collusion between corporate e-mail providers and illegal government surveillance
+ * E-mail encryption -- what does it mean?
+ * IM encryption -- how does this differ from e-mail encryption?
+ * Search engine queries and online purchases can be tracked to an individual
+
+== Followup ==
+We should pass around a signup sheet asking for people to indicate interest in a followup workshop -- for example, if there's a sense that the crowd really wants to learn how to use OpenPGP, we'd like to schedule a time that interested folks can actually get trainings.
+
+== Materials ==
+What materials will we need to provide?
+
+ * Paper, pens, identity badges (playing cards?), instructions, envelopes for role play
+ * carbon paper for simulating a mailing list?
+ * signup sheets for followup
+ * posters to invite people to the workshop
