Pat delegated Task 1 to Mike and Keith, and Task 2 to Jerome and Matt.
Dave will be assisting both groups. Task 3 will be completed by Paul.
A key question that came up during our discussion pertained to Task
2, "Define Style". Dave approached the group with the question "What
characteristics (input data/variables) defined a particular "style" of
randomization?". The following list summarizes the brainstorm list made
as a result of the discussion:
