Subject: Please summarise the last meeting

Please keep in mind that your notes are part of the project documentation ? among other things, they will be used by myself and other staff to stay informed about the state of the project.

[ABSTRACT]   Write one paragraph of coherent text to summarize the meeting as a whole from your role?s perspective.

This meeting was the most productive one we have had so far.  Each team member had received a large amount of information and processed it very well.  Individual presentations were very useful and informative.  Contributions made from each team member added new elements that added information about what our objectives and goals should be.  We were a little pressed for time because of the large number of options and amount of information.  There was a very pleasing group atmosphere where we not only informed one another, but also laughed with one another.  We achieved all that we needed to, and I am very hopeful about finding the solution to this project.
