conflicts. Some examples include:
● In the event of absenteeism, members are responsible for keeping up to date
with other parties, any new developments (detailed in our Google Document)
and meeting their obligations
● At the first team meeting, the team selected Monday 11am-12pm and Tuesday
10am-12pm as favourable meeting times. In case of unexpected timetabling
clashes, a contingency time of Friday 3pm-4pm was established. Alternatively,
if several parties were unavailable during the week, Skype group calling was
discussed.

was one week’s worth of leeway to account for any unforeseen circumstances
