      1. If possible (i.e. local network is determined to be reliable at site) use OSG Connect (instead of grid certificates as was done previously). This will require course material modifications.

          - Horst will contact local IT expert about connectivity reliability in Rwanda.

          - Kyle thinks he can authorize user access to OSG Connect.

          - We should do OSG Connect dry run well in advance of the school.

          - Will set up OSG Connect users at the beginning of our week at ASP 2016.

      2. In the 1.5 days of grid sessions, spend more time on hands-on exercises.

      3. UNIX introductory lectures, arranged by Ketevi, will be done early in ASP 2016, We can send Ketevi the lectures we used

      in Ghana (ASP 2012).

      4. Tentative travel plans (suggested by Horst):

          - Leave U.S. on Thurs. and arrive in Rwanda on Friday of the 2nd week, ahead of the banquet on Saturday.

          - Depart Rwanda on Friday or Saturday of Week 3.
