SUBJECT: Progress On Informational Report

This memo describes the progress our team has made since our last progress
report on February 6, 2001.
Background: Our team is researching desktop video conferencing technology
for Company A. Our informational report to the company's CIO is due March
20, 2001.
Action Items Completed: In preparation for this assignment, each member of
our team was assigned particular tasks and discussed findings on Sunday,
February 12. Each member completed research on specific areas of this
technology and completed two pages of the rough draft.
o Carol: Surveyed users via the Internet, worked on introduction for
rough draft, and made appointment with writing center for 7:00
p.m. Monday, April 22nd.
o Jack: Completed research on desktop cameras and wrote two pages
of rough draft.
o Joan: Completed research on software, wrote two pages of rough
draft, and took rough draft to writing center with Jack.
o Karen: Completed research on microphones, wrote two pages of
rough draft, and contacted Robin with Arrow Electronics for more
information and suggestions.
o All members: Held meeting on Sunday, February 12, reviewed
each member's two pages, brought all pages together in a rough
draft, reviewed report guidelines and identified pieces of the report
that are still missing.

Action Items To Be Completed: Each member has now been assigned these
tasks:
Karen Interview software users March

Carol Get product specifications from vendors March

Anticipated Problems: Our progress is still on schedule. However, we
anticipate difficulty in cohesively bringing together the two pages each team
member has written for the rough draft. We will overcome this problem through
careful proofreading, revising and editing along with help from the writing
center.
By February 20, you will have another updated progress report from our team.
