Discuss problem statement. Discuss project plan. Agree on meeting dates/times. Agree on deliverables:

Open discussion.
Between each meeting members will get a simple status checkin email: something that says "Have you completed X, yes or no?"
Meeting 2 (should occur two weeks after):
Discuss deliverables 1 and 2. Assign teams to begin testing (I plan to mix up the teams between people who are familiar with a particular application and those that are not).
- Deliverable 5 each team downloads and sets up their testing tool.
