The group "The 4 JEMS" consists of Jon Synnott, Mark Keyes, Eve Bulman, and Shauna Garry. They value open communication, making decisions by vote, and prioritizing the project. They will use Slack for daily discussions, WebCourses for final decisions, and WebEx or Adobe for synchronous meetings, with summaries posted to the wiki. Potential obstacles include scheduling availability and meeting deadlines due to work commitments, but they agree to accept decisions when absent and help each other meet deadlines. All tasks will be tracked in Smartsheet and questions posted there as well as Slack to avoid being lost.
