tr-sq-601 | tr-sq-601_0 | Text: Lynne Neagle AM: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Children, Young People and Education Committee this morning. We've received no apologies for absence. Can I ask if there are any declarations of interest from Members, please? No. Okay, thank you. Item 2 this morning is the Children (Abolition of Defence of Reasonable Punishment) (Wales) Bill: Stage 2 proceedings. I'm pleased to welcome Julie Morgan AM, Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services; Karen Cornish, deputy director, children and families division at Welsh Government; and Emma Gammon, lawyer for Welsh Government. Thank you for attending this morning and welcome to the committee. I'm just going to run through the procedures that we're going to follow now. As I said, the purpose of the meeting is to undertake Stage 2 proceedings on the Children (Abolition of Defence of Reasonable Punishment) (Wales) Bill. For these proceedings, Members should have copies of the marshalled list of amendments, the groupings of the amendments for debate and the voting order for the amendments. The marshalled list of amendments is the list of all amendments tabled, marshalled into the order in which the sections appear in the Bill. The order in which we consider amendments will be the default order—that is, sections 1 to 3 and the long title. You will see from the groupings list that amendments have been grouped to facilitate debate. However, the order in which they're called and moved for decision is dictated by the marshalled list. Members will, therefore, need to follow the two papers, although I will advise Members when I call them whether they're being called to speak in the debate or to move their amendments for a decision. There will be one debate on each group of amendments. Members who wish to speak in a particular group should indicate to me in the usual way. I will call the Deputy Minister to speak on each group. For the record, in accordance with the convention agreed by the Business Committee, as Chair I will move amendments in the name of the Deputy Minister. For expediency, I will assume that the
Question: How did Deputy Minister speak to her amendments and the other amendments in group 3, which relates to the regulation-making powers in the Bill?
Answer: | As a consequence of proposing to remove the power for a Welsh Minister to make an order for commencement, the power to make transitory, transitional or saving provisions in connection with section 1 of the Bill coming into force would also be removed. Amendment 2 would add the existing power back onto the face of the Bill where amendments 7 and 8 removed it, and amendment 6 would bring the power into force the day after Royal Assent. These amendments were technical in nature and while she acknowledged that the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee raised the issue of what procedure should be applied, their report did not call for any change to no procedure being applied. The absence of an Assembly procedure did not mean that Ministers' decisions in relation to transitional powers cannot be scrutinized by the Assembly. In conclusion, she encouraged members to reject amendment 3A. |

Question: How did Suzy Davies say about amendment 3A when discussing the amendments in group 3 which relates to the regulation-making powers in the Bill?
Answer: | Suzy Davies thought that one person's technical issue was another person's essential part of the legislative procedure and a keen element in scrutiny. Suzy Davies was glad that amendment 8 had removed an order provision. Suzy Davies thought amendment 3A was something of a probing amendment. The amendment 3 seek to give a familiar range of powers in connection with the coming into force of section 1, but it was not a separate commencement power. Amendment 3A was a holding position, which they would return this in Stage 3, because Suzy Davies thought this was an area where this might be valuable to discuss quite what kind of powers were required. Suzy Davies thought there might be something that was beyond transitional, transitory and saving. |

Question: Summarize their discussions on amendment 11 and 12 that relate to the duty to ensure sufficient funding.
Answer: | This discussion started with Janet Finch-Saunders and Janet Finch-Saunders spoke to both amendments in this group. She said the reason she wanted these two amendments be there because she genuinely did not believe that the Deputy Minister had envisioned what or even estimated the likely cost to be borne by the organizations, and certainly their local authorities and health boards and impact of the Bill was going to have. Then the Deputy Minister responded to this. She said they had done a thorough and extremely diligent job of considering the potential impacts of the Bill before introduction. She thought all the evidence had shown that they did not anticipate that there would be a huge increase of a demand for funding, so she encouraged members to reject these amendments, which she thought were not necessary. At last, they took a vote on amendments 11 and 12, and ended up with rejecting amendments 11 and 12, and agreeing with amendment 4 and 5. |

Question: Summarize Janet Finch-Saunders opinions on amendments 11 and 12 that relate to the duty to ensure sufficient funding.
Answer: | Janet Finch-Saunders said that there were ongoing concerns about the potential costs for Welsh devolved authorities and the lack of quantifiable costs within the regulatory impact assessment. While amendment 11 referred to costs borne by local authorities and health boards, Janet Finch-Saunders had noted that amendment 12 took this further by including other devolved authorities that were not funded by Welsh Government. Janet Finch-Saunders wanted these amendments because she genuinely did not believe that they had even envisioned what or even estimated the likely cost to be borne by the organizations, and certainly their local authorities and health boards, and the impact the Bill was going to have. |

Question: How did the Deputy Minister respond to amendments 11 and 12 that relate to the duty to ensure sufficient funding?
Answer: | The Deputy Minister understood that the impact of this Bill on public services was concerned; however, she said that they had done a thorough and extremely diligent job of considering the potential impacts of the Bill before introduction. She cited several people's sentences, to demonstrate that the Bill was removing a defense to an offence of common assault, which had formed part of the common law of England and Wales for a very long time. This was not a completely new area of costly activity for any of them. The Deputy Minister thought all the evidence had shown that they did not anticipate that there would be a huge increase of a demand for funding, so she encouraged members to reject these amendments, which she thought were not necessary. |

Question: What did the group discuss about pricing and individual task assignment?
Answer: | Project Manager informed the team of the price issue and the financial goal. The unit price was determined to be 25 Euros. The production of each remote control would cost 12.5 Euros. The team would have to make sales amounting to 50 million Euros. Project Manager assigned individual tasks to the team members. Industrial Designer had worked out a rough plan for the first phase and would produce a working design. User Interface was supposed to specify the technical functions. Marketing would be responsible for market research. |

Question: Summarize Industrial Designer's opinions towards individual task assignment.
Answer: | Industrial Designer had started making an overview of the project's three phases respectively. In the present phase, Industrial Designer focused on the basic function of the remote control. Batteries would be incorporated in the remote control to supply energy. Users would press buttons to activate or deactivate certain functions on the TV. In addition, Project Manager suggested that the remote control would use infrared light to communicate the signal to the TV apparatus or stereo. Industrial Designer agreed. |

Question: Summarize Marketing's opinions towards individual task assignment.
Answer: | From a marketing perspective, the present function design phase consisted of user requirements. Marketing would mainly do internet research to get users' feedback on existing products. Meanwhile, Marketing would find out the shortcomings of the current remote controls. According to the research results, the team could optimize their design. Marketing added that the team would probably be inspired by early remote control adopters. |

Question: What did the group discuss about user requirements of the new remote control?
Answer: | Regretfully, Marketing did not get specific user requirements for now. Instead, User Interface made a contribution to the discussion. Users mainly expected the remote control to be user-friendly. To be more specific, the button size ought to be regular, and the remote control was expected to be a handy and small unit. It would be more satisfying if the zapping range was big enough so that the remote control could work from a distance. |

Question: What did the group discuss about the emphasis on the basic function and function extendibility?
Answer: | Industrial Designer asked whether the remote control would be a multimedia product. Marketing also hoped to know the answer, for the team would have to decide what functions to incorporate in the remote control. Project Manager suggested that the team should first have a basic starting point and extend to other functions in the following meetings. |

Question: Why did Industrial Designer disagree with Marketing about the design of only one button when discussing the emphasis on the basic function and function extendibility?
Answer: | Marketing suggested that the remote control could only have one button and connect with Windows media center under the TV. The remote control could thus operate different devices at the same time. However, Industrial Designer pointed out that it would not be feasible to have only one button, for the remote control would need several other buttons for a video player, such as the play, the fast forward, and the stop button. |

Question: Summarize the whole meeting.
Answer: | In their first meeting, the team members got familiar with each other through some icebreaker games. Project Manager started to introduce the new remote control project with the team's financial goal. The unit price was determined to be 25 Euros. The production of each remote control would cost 12.5 Euros. The team would have to make sales amounting to 50 million Euros. Project Manager continued to assign individual tasks to the team members. Industrial Designer had worked out a rough plan for the first phase and would produce a working design. User Interface was supposed to specify the technical functions. Marketing would be responsible for market research. Users mainly expect the remote control to be user-friendly and handy.

Question: What did the Professor say about the soldiers?
Answer: | The professor told the group a story about soldiers assigned to watch out for spy planes. The plane showed up at four each day and the soldiers called it in. Once the pattern was clear, they stopped looking for it and spent time with the locals instead. One day, the plane did not come but the soldiers still reported it, so they got into trouble. The professor used the story to make a point about making an assumption and then seeing if it holds after changing something small. |

Question: Summarize the meeting
Answer: | The meeting focused on the Aurora project. The Professor began with some updates on how certain decisions made by those leading the project did not make sense. There was some confusion and debate about how to move forward. The team then moved onto a discussion about measuring the effect of a given feature on the model. The professor outlined the specific methodology. At the time, the team was focused on testing for C-zero and C-one only, but they decided to expand their testing. Finally, the professor told some stories to explain future directions and the team had a brief discussion about their hardware. |

Question: Summarize the team's evaluation of the remote.
Answer: | Marketing first presented the evaluation criteria, including whether the remote was easy to use, whether it was fashionable, whether it feels good physically, and some other aspects. Using a seven-point scale from true to false, the team rated the remote on these aspects. All agreed to give 2 points for the remote being easy to use. With slight variations, the average point for it being fashionable is 2.5. The average is 2 for it feeling good physically, and 3.5 for it being technologically innovative. Finally, the team also agreed on it being trendy and capable with a score around 2. |

Question: Describe the team's disagreement when evaluating whether the remote was fashionable.
Answer: | On a 7-point scale from true to false, Project Manager first rated the remote at 1 point for it being undoubtedly fashionable. Yet Industrial Designer immediately objected to this. After Marketing seconded Project Manager's evaluation, Industrial Designer hesitatingly gave it a 2, saying it's not fashionable enough at the moment. When Marketing and Project Manager defended their views by pointing out it's only a prototype they're seeing, Industrial Designer insisted on his objection and rerated it at 3 or 4. This disagreement finally presented the average rating of 2 for the remote on the fashion criterion. |

Question: Describe the team's discussion and evaluating process on whether the remote was technologically innovative.
Answer: | Marketing first wanted to check whether the remote was going to have the phrase recognition function. This function was not reflected on the model they were seeing, but User Interface and Industrial Designer confirmed that it could be realized with a special chip. Marketing thus decided that the remote was technologically innovative enough. Since the remote was only designed for TVs, it was rated 3 by Marketing, 3 or 4 by Project Manager, and 4 by User Interface. With an average of 3.5, they agreed that the remote had reasonable technological innovation and was sufficient for their project. |

Question: Summarize the team's discussion and evaluation of the whole production process.
Answer: | Industrial Designer first pointed out that they got stifled for creativity by the company restricting their product to only a TV remote. User Interface complained about having no whiteboard or Internet. Marketing thought they did a great job in general, having control over the actual design. Industrial Designer and User Interface were satisfied with their teamwork, while Project Manager also commented on them being a congenial team. Further complaints were made on the survey, yet they appreciated the digital pens, wireless laptops, a shared network, dual microphones and Big Brother. Many new ideas were also found through this process. |

Question: Summarize the whole meeting.
Answer: | This was the last meeting on the remote project. Industrial Designer and User Interface first gave the prototype presentation with a model remote they made based on previous team decisions, showing the design of colours, buttons, and shapes. Marketing then led the discussion on the evaluation criteria of their product, after which the team evaluated the remote in various aspects. As for finance, the team calculated the costs of each component of the remote, finding the total cost under their budget and thus allowing the remote to go into production. Finally, the team talked about their experience in the project process, digressing into a casual discussion on computers, cell phones, and ideas for commercials. The team members thanked each other for their effort. |

Question: What were the difficulties faced by the municipal sector?

Question: Why does the industrial designer prefer a potential-meter for volume control?
Answer: | Users can't change the volume rapidly by using two discrete buttons for volume. While by using a potential-meter or a slider, the user can mute it down or make a high volume in one second. |

Question: Summarize the features of remote control which left users with a bad experience.
Answer: | When there are many buttons on the remote control, it's hard to see each buttons' function and it's hard to press small buttons. Remote control without backlight was inconvenient to use in a dark room. Remote control without a potential-meter for volume control couldn't be used to mute the TV down or make a high volume in a second. When using remote control working with infra-red rays, users should keep it in a specific direction and it's hard to tune. |

Question: Summarize the whole meeting.
Answer: | Project manager asked team members to present themselves. After that, project manager announced that the goal of the project was to design a new, trendy and user-friendly remote control, which would be sold all over the world. Project manager wanted to sell this remote control for twenty five Euro and expected profit would be around fifty million Euro. Then team members were asked to get used to the whiteboard by writing down their favourite animals. Besides, they were also asked to share their ideas and good or bad experiences about remote controls. From their point of view, remote controls with too many buttons or without backlight are hard to use. A potential-meter for volume control was also necessary. Remote control working with radio waves was better than that working with infra-red rays. At the end of the meeting, project manager had assigned tasks to team members. |

Question: Summarize the meeting
Answer: | The meeting took place close to the finalization of the model, so participants were focused on further experimentation they could conduct. It began with a discussion about how the backend system could be further improved. The team thought that perhaps they could tweak language scaling and insertion penalties to see how the model changed its performance. Then, the team moved into discussing methods for detecting voice segments in their results. Finally, the team spent some time exploring normalization techniques and acoustic events, both of which could potentially improve model performance. |

Question: What was said about the overlaps?
Answer: | PhD G explained how the data represents the number of overlaps regardless of the number of speakers. It is important to answer the question of whether overlaps are distributed evenly throughout or whether they are in bursts. Anonymizing the results and classifying overlaps by type may assist in standardizing cultural ways of conversing. PhD G proposed finding the average length of overlaps and the distribution of the duration of overlaps . |

Question: What did the team say on experiments?
Answer: | Grad H has been experimenting with using the close - talking mike to decipher who is speaking . The first attempt was thresholding and filtering , which is very sensitive to the choice of filter width and threshold . It does allow for effective segmenting when someone 's talking and when they are not . |

Question: Summarize the Meeting
Answer: | Members of the team discussed options to encode aspects of conversation that cannot be captured through microphones. overlaps, as well as methods to deduce the length of pauses and the reasons behind them. This led to discussing how else to document the conversations, and archive each participant’s responses separately. |

Question: What were the contents of the paper?
Answer: | As to the content of the paper, the overlap statistics have not been normalised against the number of participants in the conversation, although the dependency is probably going to be a weak one. Additionally, the correlation between pauses in speech and interruptions does not provide a cause-and-effect link for these phenomena. |

Question: What were the main topics?
Answer: | The main topics of the agenda were a paper submitted to Eurospeech and the organising of the recording transcriptions to be done by IBM. The results presented in the former show a significant percentage of overlapping speech even without counting in backchanneling. Regarding the transcriptions to be carried out by IBM, the discussion mainly concerned the format of the recordings that should be sent to them. Suggestions included sending only the channels with the dominant speakers for transcription, but it was finally agreed on sending the original files with minimal modifications, as there will be extensive in-house post-processing. |

Question: What did Dr. David Blaney think of the impact of Brexit on the capacity of Wales' higher education system?
Answer: | First, the economic impact of Brexit is shown in a number of ways, like the extent to which the HE sector in Wales is exposed to sources of income that are located from the EU. We can also see some changes in students' applications and in increasing difficulties of the EU collaborative research activities. In terms of the financial impact, if it is accepted that the UK is a net contributor to the EU then, presumably, some of Wales' money will go straight into politics, and the benefits are unknown, which will become a matter of politics. In terms of recruitment, both European Union-domiciled applicants to Wales and non-EU international students decreased, who applied to Welsh institutions. While the number for both groups of students who apply to English universities increased. |

Question: Summarize the main pressures on the Welsh higher education sector at the moment.
Answer: | The funding position would be the main pressure. The recommendations for re-establishing funding at Welsh institutions are expected to take quite a bit longer. Wales institutions are still funding at a lower level. Then, as for enrollments, there is also the start of a reduction, both in Welsh-domiciled and English-domiciled applications to Wales. And finally, the uncertainty about potential consequences that could arise from the review in England of fees and funding—the Augar review. |

Question: According to Dr. Blaney, what are the reasons for the drop in EU students applying to study in Wales?
Answer: | He thinks there may be two reasons. The first one is about the change in student support arrangements for EU students, which will have an effect of perturbation. Wales' institutions' fee level is slightly lower, but they do struggle in terms of the Anglocentric nature of the media and so on. The other dimension is about the attractiveness of the higher institutions in a highly competitive recruitment market. Wales universities don't have enough investment in facilities, and particularly buildings and kits. |

Question: What does Dr. Blaney think of the reasons why prospective students should study in Wales?
Answer: | One of the reasons is relative safety, Wales is a comfortable and safe place to be. Then, being part of a UK system is also an important message there as well. Students enjoy a UK-quality system, a UK degree, and the strength of that brand is available in Wales, and they can be safer and more supportive in Wales. |

Question: Summarize the efforts of assessments on the future of the institutions.
Answer: | According to Mr. Blaney, there's a Welsh Government HE Brexit working group, providing early summaries of the risks and the potential impact, in terms of the exposure of the sector to EU-sourced funding. Beyond that, the working group will also share the work that institutions are doing individually to look at how they would respond to different scenarios, which hasn't been implemented yet. |

Question: How Brexit might impact the fee and access plans of the higher institutions?
Answer: | According to Mr. Blaney, there are two dimensions. Fee and access plans are approved annually by Mr. Blaney's group. They go through their financial sustainability, which is based on their forecasts and data. And also, the fee plans themselves make assumptions about how many students of different types are going to be recruited. Unless the institutions can find other students, and they will reduce the amount of investment in the various activities that are identified in the fee plans. |

Question: Other than fee and access reports, what else do executives do to assure that Welsh higher education institutions are effectively planning for Brexit?
Answer: | They touched on contingency plans, which also focus on promotion and look for additional or increased sources of funding, and touched on strengthening the Global Wales engagement in order to sell Wales. The other sector that they worked on is the funding of infrastructure. So they worked with UK universities to make arguments at UK Government level. |

Question: According to the group, are higher education institutions having enough preparations on expertises to react to the current situation?
Answer: | Bethan Owen thinks that they can advise based on visible data and information and on their judgment. The big thing in this whole Brexit scenario contains so much uncertainty. And according to Dr David Blaney, they have varied links into institutions, having lots of conversations, getting information for the assessment about the financial sustainability of the institutions, assessing governance and management levels and foreseeing challenges. |

Question: What do the group think of the existing problem of Erasmus and the mobility funding for students?
Answer: | According to Bethan Owen, seven of the universities are referring to mobility, so they are including an element of it from their own income and fee and access income. However, Erasmus is such a well-established and long-term plan that to implement anything similar to it would be much less efficient and much more costly, so replacing it would be a challenge. |

Question: What does the executives do to protect students' interests as the Brexit scenario evolves?
Answer: | They were the first of the funding councils in the UK to have a memorandum of understanding with the National Union of Students in Wales, ahead of the rest of the UK in requiring all HE providers to have student charters and there are elements of student protection within the student charter. They're also requiring further education institutions who are regulated and deliver higher education to do similar or the same, and that's very important. |

Question: What are the other barriers to Welsh universities gaining more funding from UK research councils?
Answer: | The biggest is that there's an issue about investment. The quality of the research base in Welsh universities and the productivity of that Welsh research base are both good, there's just not enough of them. If they want to be able to play into the UK-wide research funding, the investment has two dimensions. One is having enough researchers playing in larger projects rather than small-scale projects; and the second thing is that, compared to UK-wide research pots, Wales' core research funding is not competitive. Also, the Welsh sector has not been sufficiently focused on getting in on the conversations with the research councils. |

Question: What are the potential difficulties after Brexit for the continuation and enhancement of researcher collaborations and networks?
Answer: | First of all, whether the Brexit deal might impact adversely on the capacity of the collaborations is still unknown. But we've mentioned playing into Horizon Europe, and being able to continue with that would be an important part of that capacity. Wales should maintain the quality, maintain the impact, and hopefully grow the critical mass. Dr David Blaney thinks that they are already showing dividends in terms of the capacity to win more research funding, and to establish an even stronger presence in the international research market. |

Question: Summarize the discussion about product requirements based on market survey.
Answer: | The marketing put forward three aspects in product requirements. Most importantly, the look and feel of the remote control should make it stand out from the rest products on the market. Second, it had to be technologically innovative so that people would be attracted to buy it. Third, it should be user-friendly. After that, the group discussed some specific ways to fulfill these requirements. |

Question: What did the marketing recommend when discussing product requirements?
Answer: | The marketing recommended bringing some elements of fruit and vegetables, bright colors, some eye-catching and bold design, and a spongy feel into the product. Inspired from cell phones, the marketing also proposed a changeable cover which could be customized by the user. Besides, the marketing disapproved of having LCD screens and speech recognition because he didn't think it would be worth extra expense and effort. |

Question: Summarize the discussion about industrial and functional design of the product.
Answer: | The user interface designer wanted a universal controller with speech recognition to store channel information so that the users could just say out the name of a channel like BBC instead of remembering the exact number of it. Also, a blinking thing which could serve as the battery alarm and the indicator of the location of the controller was taken into account by the group. The user interface designer wanted the product to be children-friendly, which meant users could program it to prevent children from browsing certain channels. In terms of the product components, there would be an integrated circuit, some transistors, buttons, scroll wheels, infrared, LED, LCD, and an advanced chip. |

Question: What was the decision of the discussion about the feasibility of letting the user program the keys?
Answer: | The industrial designer worried that the function would make the product difficult to use, which was against the product requirement. Then the user interface designer thought it would depend on how much effort the user could put. Thus, the group decided to produce two versions - one giving the full freedom to the user, the other keeping some constraints. |

Question: What did the group talk about the cost control of the product?
Answer: | The project manager wondered whether they could implement the design for twelve Euro and fifty cents. Then the industrial designer replied that the function of programming the keys was affordable while the feasibility of the ASR system was uncertain. Therefore, maybe they should make some compromise. Finally, the industrial designer and the user interface designer were required to provide two designs with the exact cost price at the next meeting so that they could see which one fit their budget better. |

Question: Summarize the whole meeting.
Answer: | The meeting was mainly about conceptual design. First, the marketing gave some opinions about product requirements based on market surveys and the group discussed some specific ways to fulfill them. After that, the user interface designer proposed to make a universal controller with speech recognition and a blinking thing. A list of basic components were also given. When it came to the cost control, the group believed that they should do some compromise to keep the cost under 12.5 Euros and the specific design scheme would be decided at the next meeting. |

Question: What did Project Manager mention when giving general arrangements at the very beginning of the meeting?
Answer: | Project Manager mentioned four points. Firstly, Project Manager pointed out that teletext was outdated and internet would be the main focus. Then it was proposed that the remote control would only be used for TV, rather than a multi-purpose one. What's more, the project should target a new customer group, which was younger than 40. Logo and slogan of the remote control were required to attract more attention, but it was not for now. |

Question: What did Marketing discuss about improving new remote control features based on the questionnaire?
Answer: | Based on those findings, Marketing thought the main focus should be put on the audience from 16 to 45 because they were the biggest share, which could bring more profit. Also, Marketing thought there was a need to improve the most used functions, and therefore, the buttons needed to be bigger and for minor functions. Less buttons and minor functions would make it easier and quicker for users to learn. What's more, a placeholder would help users to keep remote controls. |

Question: What did Industrial Designer think of the remote control with Bluetooth and other new technology when discussing the possibility of applying different technologies?
Answer: | Industrial Designer compared infrared technology with Bluetooth technology, and pointed out that the latter cost more. To build a remote control with Bluetooth was impossible within the budget. He suggested using infrared technology. When it came to the speech function, Industrial Designer didn't give a clear answer for not being sure about the cost, and he/she just left it as something to explore. |

Question: What did Industrial Designer propose to build a new remote control when discussing the Bluetooth technology and the functions of remote control?
Answer: | Industrial Designer first explained how the remote control worked and how people could build one. Based on this, he rejected the idea of using Bluetooth, which was proposed during the last meeting, by pointing out that the cost would be over the budget. From the aspect of Industrial Designer, he/she recommended to keep the remote control simple and still use infrared technology. When it came to the design and functionality, Industrial Designer thought that they should stick to the basic things. |

Question: What did User Interface think about the features of the new remote control when discussing the technical functions of the design and usability functions?
Answer: | User Interface also suggested to keep the remote control simple and ease down on the functionality. Keeping the remote control simple meant that fewer functions were involved, or at least less buttons were made, which could be solved by a hierarchy structure supported by a touch screen. Besides, User Interface mentioned the importance of being user friendly. According to User Interface, the remote control should be only used for TV. |

Question: What did the group discuss at the end of the meeting when summarizing the whole meeting?
Answer: | Project Manager emphasized that the main point in this meeting was to keep the remote control as simple as possible, but more options and functions, like the menu and the parental control could be added. User Interface suggested making a remote control which had a functionality for all the TVs and users could enter the codes to set their TVs. Marketing proposed that people could go to the service center or the shop for the updates of the remote control. |

Question: Summarize the whole meeting.
Answer: | Project Manager firstly gave some main points of the design of remote control. The Internet would be the main focus and the proposal of multi-purpose remote control was clearly rejected. Besides, the customer group expanded to those younger than 40. Then group members respectively gave presentations about the conception of the functions of remote control. Based on a questionnaire, Marketing concluded that the remote control should be simple, the buttons bigger and for minor functions. Industrial Designer rejected the idea of using Bluetooth and indicated that infrared would be better and within the budget. Industrial Designer believed that remote control should be simple and suggested sticking to basic things of remote control. User Interface also agreed to keep it simple and put forward the idea of using a touch screen and being user-friendly. Finally, Project Manager led the team to further discuss detailed questions like menus, parental control, update service. |

Question: Summarize the team building process with favourite animals.
Answer: | The team took turns to draw their favourite animals on the whiteboard while discussing what characteristics of that animal they liked.

Question: Describe the whole discussion concerning Project Manager's favourite animal in the team building process.
Answer: | First, Project Manager announced that her favourite animal at the time was an elk. User Interface immediately joked that it looked vicious, what with the big antlers. Industrial Designer then asked whether everyone had elk where they came from. The team then complimented Project Manager's drawing for the elk. Project Manager consequently gave her reasons for choosing the elk as her favourite, saying it was a large beautiful majestic creature that could overcome harsh terrain and defend itself. She considered that even though elks would appear awkward, they were actually very gorgeous animals. |

Question: Summarize Marketing's story and description of the butterfly she drew during the discussion of favourite animals.
Answer: | Marketing drew a butterfly because she had seen one the day before, which she considered as the symbol of spring arriving. It was the prettiest butterfly she had ever seen out in the wild, and this was quite unusual where they lived. Mistaking it as a dead leaf at first, she saw the butterfly land next to her, showing as colourful and exotica body as that of a peacock. Marketing appreciated her encounter with the butterfly very much. |

Question: Summarize the team's brainstorming process for raising initial thoughts.
Answer: | Marketing first talked about the fact that it was often hard to see the buttons in the dark. Industrial Designer followed by pointing out that remotes tend to go missing a lot, and thus a tracking device would be really helpful. User Interface then proposed that there are too many unnecessary buttons on a current remote, and a hidden panel for less used buttons would be useful. Project Manager further suggested that their remote could be some other shape instead of the standard rectangular, while the team reminded her that their product must be both novel and universally acceptable. |

Question: What new functions could their remote have based on the team's brainstorming process?
Answer: | One function could be to let the buttons be distinguishable even in the dark, so that one could use the remote whether there was light or not. Another function could be to track the remote when it goes lost, probably realized through some kind of alarm on the remote and a button installed somewhere else. One last proposed function was to design a hidden panel for the remote, containing all the less used buttons so that they wouldn't take up too much space on the main panel and confuse the user. |

Question: When brainstorming, what was the team's opinion on giving the remote a novel shape?
Answer: | The idea of giving the remote a novel shape instead of the standard rectangular was first raised by Project Manager. Marketing proposed a possible shell shape for the remote. Industrial checked whether they were going into novelty factors because the remote still had to be universally acceptable if they wanted it to sell. Yet it couldn't be too boring, so it would be key for the team to figure out a way for the remote to be trendy and original, but at the same time not too outrageous. |

Question: Summarize the whole meeting.
Answer: | This was the first meeting on the team's project. It started with every member introducing themselves, getting to know each other's names as well as their individual roles in the project. Project Manager then revealed the overall plan for their project, announcing that they were going to design a new television remote that would be both trendy and user-friendly. After that, each person drew their favourite animals on the whiteboard and shared their reasons for the choice, with Project Manager choosing an elk, Industrial Designer a cat, User Interface a dog, and Marketing a butterfly. Project Manager then added some financial details to their plan, setting their selling price and cost. In the following brainstorming time, they raised ideas on night-time operation, a tracking device, and the design for buttons and shape. Finally, Project Manager arranged tasks for each team member to take on until their next meeting. |
