I logged into the conference bridge as per the agreed schedule, but soon realized that most of the other attendees were late. Some people I could not identify were talking, adding to the noise in the background. Some were even eating and drinking maybe tea or coffee, making the environment less than business-like.

Secretary to the VP presented the agenda of the meeting, mentioning that she was going to be the time keeper of the meeting and that she was also responsible for circulating the minutes of the meeting.

"People" is not just the name of a magazine, it is the subject of virtually every story published today. How people use a certain product. Why they behave the way they do. And what activity they're engaged in that is charming, disarming, or alarming.

Before we moved to the next topic on the agenda, the VP summarized the decision taken, issues still open for that topic and clearly mentioned who was responsible for closure of a particular open issue.
