Project Status Update

We have created a new group comprised of the Spanish speakers and lead by Manuel, who will take the lead on translating the pertinent and applicable parts of the Peruvian code, specific to the Poly Clinico designation of our project. Manuel and his group anticipate having Executive Summaries of the codes by the 11/29 meeting.

At the 11/29 meeting, we will discuss recent conversations with Amazon Promise and share the answers to the questions we sent to the Peruvian professionals, who Manuel is in contact with, though has yet to receive anything back from. We will also discuss in detail the creation of a Basis of Design, which will serve as our 'design bible' of sorts for the duration of the design process. We will have a sample posted on ProjectSolve early next week. Each Discipline will contribute their respective code summary as well as disciplinary write up, which will help solidify the coordination process.

For now, all Disciplinary Groups are asked to stay in touch with one another and continue to brainstorm ways to improve the conceptual design. Translation of the code and answers to our numerous technical questions -- each of which is expected by the next meeting -- will open up a lot of work for each Group.
