questions, make suggestions, and evaluate the status of that part of the project.

via email to all members of the group. Members of the group may respond to that

the long and short term goals will be listed.

research so that the group can attempt to make a better-informed decision.
2. A final decision will not be made until the next meeting.
3. If the team goes through 2 meetings without resolution, a final emergency meeting
will be called in which a vote will be held and the majority opinion will be followed.
