 Dan - let's communicate directly through email and use the blog for communicative purposes.

Andre - said he sent elevator pitches to group individuals and also dengigroup. Andre mentioned the blog .

Katey - what did I miss on the personal issue? Andre - reiterated to use the personal email. Katey added her summary to Dan's.

Andre- use the blog for posting summaries.

Dan - the blog is for the work related issues of the group. Email is the most appropriate way for me to get changes on the group.

Andre - elevator pitches.

Thoughts on collaborative issue:

Dan - great job on the outline. He's got cases to work on in addition to work. There's nothing wrong with being organized. He feels that the level of detail was huge and that coming to perfection might be difficult.

 Andre - feels that this was a draft attempt to have some detail in the work plan. Expectations on how to work on the project

 Claudia - Stated that 1 person can't do all of that but that allocation of those parts would be better.

 Andre - stated that wasn't the case?

Dan - Who has the time to really apply to the outline in Andre's email? Who has really been able to submit these timely so far? As individuals we each have our jobs and lives. How much can I contribute? Let's keep utilizing Claudia as a focal point. Getting response timelines will be difficult.

Andre - no. 1 as far as the time, time needs to be spent. no 2 as far as my schedule I'm working 16 hours a day and my time. Daily I'm putting 2-4 hours on a class and I have no problem putting more time into class projects.

Dan - Should we spend that much time dividing up reading? The critical part is that what you might perceive to be a critical point is a non-essential point to me. The article's that need to be read from the library could be posted.

Katey, Chris and Claudia - We'd like to keep the reading assignments.

Dan - Conference calling into the meetings doesn't work. If Andre has questions he can submit them before the meeting and we can ask the during the meeting. (Please note that this was with reference to the OTC meetings- not weekly meetings) 

Andre -Not a problem. I'll send communication and also on quick looks at end of day. He is also willing to summarize the reading at any point of the day.
