Rick will follow up on whether there are restrictions on connection sharing or if there are bulk discounts for wireless connections at Mills College. John will put something on the CNVC website letting non-registrants know that there are ways people can participate through technology who are not attending the gathering. John will ask Kit to contact workshop facilitators to provide their handouts electronically so they can be posted on the WIKI for non-registrants to enjoy.
