Abstract
A system is described that can be used to communicate information among a group of participants. A participant may create an electronic form specifying a list of network addresses corresponding to other participants intended to receive the communication. A server receives the form and delivers a message associated with an electronic medium. When the participant opens the message, the electronic medium is produced by the server and includes static and dynamic content. The participant can add content to the dynamic content. The dynamic content regions can be asynchronously dynamically updated in the server to indicate a then current content of the electronic medium, and can be accessed by other participants in the group.
