Yes. It's important that we know what exposures and coverage we have.
I've asked the Defcon village contact. When they answer questions, it
sometimes takes a long time.

To fill in some of the empty time slots on the educational tasks, I've put

This is an excellent idea, as it reduces risk considerably if a staff
person is standing near the machine to welcome those interested in
learning about it. Equally good, it closes holes in our education program.

Yes, this is smart. We will have to work with the ATM operator to make sure
they understand this.
