I appreciate you sharing the video of your previous presentation and the podcast. They both helped me in my preparation. I think one thing to add (especially for an administrator audience) is that student behavior in DSNs is affecting schools whether it occurs in the school or outside the school. This is another argument for educating kids at school and giving them a safe, moderated place to try it out. If another key point comes out of our discussion, I will share it also.

Security is a great concern to me and I would be interested in your assessment of my approach. There are no 'public areas' and I don't collect personal information from customers. To join a group requires a two-way handshake. The requester must enter the name of the group to join and the group owner must approve the request. This helps prevent someone from joining a group without being invited and also prevents a user from being added to a group to which he/she doesn't want to belong.
