+## Some review: What is COmanage again?
 
-... and content
+COmanage is a Membership Management Service. These tools provide many things:
+
+* An interface for user enrollment
+* The ability to assign rights and permissions to people through roles, groups, etc
+* The ability to distribute the management of rights and permissions to multiple people. _For example, a project's Principal Investigator can manage the rights and permissions for his/her project group_
+
+## Is modeling really all that important?
+
+Yes! One of the most useful features of COmanage is the ability to distribute the management of rights and permissions to multiple people. A little extra planning in the early stages of setting up COmanage can go a long way to making this delegation a straight-forward task. 
+
+## Changing things later
+
+Of course, you can usually make changes to your initial model, though sometimes doing so is difficult and can necessitate a far-reaching rework of things that are working well as they are. We will discuss some fundamental considerations to make modeling decisions that you will less likely have to change.
+
+## MIND STRETCHER: Categorizing the components of a house
+
+Consider an empty house. If you think of all of the rooms in the house, there are several ways that you might group them. For example, you may group them based on the function of the room (places to sleep; places to eat), or you might group them by characteristics (rooms with or without water, type of floor covering).
+
+>> Work in teams of 2-3 to list several ways that you may group the rooms in the house. [3 min work on their own - then ask for some examples - take 5-7 of them and write them on a flip chart]
+
+Now that you have some ways to group the rooms, work with in the same teams to pick a primary factor for grouping the rooms in the house from the list that you have or from the list that you see on the flip chart. Once you have that primary factor, pick 2-3 secondary factors that you think are important. For example, if you picked [the primary user of the room | pick something from the flipchart list], your secondary classifications might be, [the relative amount of time spent in the room | something from the flipchart] and [the function of the room | something from the flipchart list].
+
+>> Work in the same groups [5 min work on their own - then ask for choices - 1-2 of them. Ask why they selected those items as their primary and secondary factors.]
+
+Now let's say that I needed to traverse your hierarchy of factors to determine all of the rooms that I need to examine to [refinish all of the wood floors | refresh all of the plumbing | paint in pink every room in which your cat spends more than 30% of its time | some other characteristic that wouldn't be obvious from the hierarchy presented by the teams]. How much would your room factor hierarchy system help or hinder the process of selecting rooms?
+
+What would be the best way to organize the rooms to optimize for this situation? [open discussion]
+
+Would you make a different choice for your room factor hierarchy if you knew that you would need to accommodate several different reasons for selecting a group of rooms?
+
+[5 min - open discussion - things to bring out in the discussion
+
+1. you won't know all of the reasons that you need to select rooms
+2. It probably won't be possible to optimize for every selection that you may need to make, but there may be a structure that works well for the most common selection needs
+3. Optimizing for one situation may make other situations nearly impossible to accommodate using the same hierarchy]
+
+Similar to the exercise that we just did in developing a factor hierarchy for the rooms in the house, in the next section we will talk about the most common ways to classify the parts of your organization to optimize grouping for the most common reasons for selecting a groups of people.
