Topics: white paper
Decisions: finish the paper, decide on style, colors, placement, etc
Tasks: complete rough draft
Plans for next meeting: finish final draft after incorporating suggestions
Other/etc:warm weather!!!

This week I worked with the group to compose the "Discussion" portion of the white paper.  This section is the culmination of research previously done on legality and of new research done on the actions of other ISPs in the wake of the RIAA's announcement to work with ISPs to curb illegal file-sharing.  I also aided the group in editing the discussion section of the rough draft to be turned in on 25 Mar 09 in class.

Today I helped put together our rough draft as well as format it.  I edited the completed version after the group meeting and reformatted our works cited page, making sure all the citations corresponded and were accounted for as well as cutting down on unnecessary information in our paper so that we didn't go over the limit with the added words for our executive summary and conclusion. 

We met Tuesday March 24th in the computer lab in Beering where class is held.  All memebers of the group (Brett, John, Hu, and Liz) were present.  We compiled all of our revised and completed research and citations.  A title page, table of contents, executive summary, and conclusion were written and formatting was completed.  The goal for the next meeting is to edit as well as to have our slides done for the powerpoint presentation so those can be put together.

I finished my part which was the solution. Now working on the executive summary and closing as a group.

Over the weekend, I wrote the executive summary and conclusion of our white paper and started formatting the paper after each member sent me their section.  I added headlines and identified issues we needed to discuss in class today.

After our group meeting today, I revised the executive summary and conclusion, wrote an additional section under the extent of the problem, added a graphic, and edited the paper.

3/23/09

Completed all proper APA citations for section.

Wrote additional information on extent of problem for background section.

Created cover page image.

I created a very short introduction and helped create a title page.  I added a table of contents to the left margin.  I also trimmed about 200 words from the SecurRom section since the paper was 300 words over the max paper limit.
