1739 "Work through the Email Self-Defense guide a step at a time as a group. Talk "
1740 "about the steps in detail, but make sure not to overload the participants "
1741 "with minutia. Pitch the bulk of your instructions to the least tech-savvy "
1742 "participants. Make sure all the participants complete each step before the "
1743 "group moves on to the next one. Consider facilitating secondary workshops "
1744 "afterwards for people that had trouble grasping the concepts, or those that "
1745 "grasped them quickly and want to learn more."

1752 "immediately download each other's keys later (sometimes there is a delay in "
1753 "synchronization between keyservers). During <a "

1757 "encourage the participants to sign each other's keys. At the end, make sure "
1758 "to remind people to safely back up their revocation certificates."
