Examples:
- Tor terminology translations
- Use formal or informal when addressing users
- Use more or less anglicisms, instead of translated terms?
We need a process to be able to build a list of accords, and how to negotiate changes on them if you disagree. SOme decisions are blocked because 'This has been decided long ago' or 'It has always been like this', but the person that decided that is not active anymore.

As a good practice, we try to avoid mixing markdown content and HTML, because translators can get confused.
Having some slide templates for slides with images could be very helpful, for example, could be a template with text on left and image on right, and image aligned on left and text on a right column.

### Outline and timing
#### 1.Introduction to the session
**Intro**
Hi XX, Thank you for talking to us today! We've been following the recent events in $country with concern, and wish to support you when it comes to accessing Internet.
In this conversation, we want to go through two steps. First, we want to ask you some demographics questions - so we can better understand how you use Tor Services. Then we will move to some questions about what's going on in $country.
Please, feel free to say and ask anything about this process and Tor. We are here to answer your questions too! Also, if you want to stop this conversation at any moment, just let us know!
#### 2. Activity
**Q1** We saw in the news that because of recent political events, there was an Internet Shutdown in your country, how was that for you? What do you remember about this day? (_ice-breaking question, to understand user needs_)
**Q2** Were you able to access the Internet those days?
- [YES] How so?
- [NO] Did you talk to anyone about it? What were the measures you take to access the internet or to understand the problems?
**Q3** Besides those moments, what are the challenges you face when accessing the Internet? And social media?
**Q4** Do you use a VPN?
- [YES] Which one? [...] Why did you choose this one? Do you have any problems when using a VPN? Like, connectivity issues?
- [NO] How do you access websites that are censored in your country? Or social media?
**Q5** Can we move to accessing the Internet through Tor browser? [...] If you're using a VPN, please turn it off, then access torproject.org [_if user succeeds accessing TB without a VPN, then download, install, and browser a news website; if not, then move to a mirror and repeat_]
#### 3. Debriefing
<!-- Here you can write the script for the closing interview and list any other short activities you want to run during the final minutes, e.g user satisfaction questionnaire, collect general feedback from participant, etc... -->

- Being updated and maintained. - have a date when it was last updated (no older than X months).
- Mentions that Tor is dangerous and to be away from it.
- It does not includes a more than 1 version old Tor Browser.
- It does not mention or teach to use tools that is not maintained.
- Do not harm: demystifies the "dark/deep web", no training materials that will scare people, or put them at risk.
- It need to mention Tor and our products.
- It is a link in the web (that work with Tor).
- It should follow the best practices of Tor. For example, we do not recommend people to [pick which country they're exiting from](https://support.torproject.org/tbb/tbb-16/), plain language, explains acronyms.
