What would be the purpose of doing that before the session? IMHO, a
large part of being able to solve this problem is getting everyone up to
speed on what this means, what the caveats are, and what we're trying to
solve. If we do some of that outside the scope of the larger audience, I
expect we'll get less interaction (or end up covering it again) in the
session.

That said, if there's something I'm missing that needs to be resolved
ahead of time, then that's fine, but I expect the best plan is to just
keep the discussion to the session. Afterwards, additional things can be
discussed in a one-off manner, but getting everyone on the same page is
largely the point of having a session in the first place IMHO.
