create a proposal and divide the tasks among us. Once we have an idea on how to go
about the proposal, we can start on the research. It is also important to look into the

ries. I would study, not just the proposal itself, but also the supporting documents and
information. I will deliver the presentation in such a way that it is easily understand-
able to the audience.
