Expert members have been provided with starting questions for each research area, but should not feel constrained by these questions.
Each expert member should meet with the expert member from other start-ups and discuss the specific aspect they have researched. Each expert member should:
Share what they have discovered from their research. Expert members should share the salient and interesting aspects of what they have learned from their research on legal approaches for the country or region.
Articulate expert presentation for start-up. Expert members should share the presentation they are going to present to their team to get feedback and support from other expert members.
Support and provide feedback to other experts. Expert members should provide feedback and support to other experts in shaping their presentation to their teams.
Experts should reflect on the feedback they received and what they have observed in their expert discussion session when refining their expert presentation.
Experts should recall that their teams are relying on their presentation of research into the specific aspect of legal approaches to undermine encryption.
Experts should return to their teams and give their presentation. The leader of the firm should then determine the appropriate running order and ask each expert within the team to present their research.
The leader of the team should encourage team members to ask questions as well as ensure that presentations and questions for a particular aspect do not exceed TEN minutes.
Teams are required to produce a FIVE by FIVE presentation, that is a presentation with FIVE slides that must not exceed FIVE minutes.
