The group planned to expand recording to three or four meetings a week, including other groups at ICSI, and to check whether the University of Washington could collect similar data. They expected roughly 25–30 hours by January and hoped eventually to collect well over 100 hours.

They also considered asking local radio producers to record panel discussions with separate microphone channels, including a distant microphone, or to record shows in the project’s room. Transcription timing remained uncertain, and the group considered dropping the digit-reading exercise for outside meetings to make participation easier.
