The ease of use of the communication technology is really important for a virtual team. If the tools are too complex, it could create barriers and miscommunications.

Okay, I've got this. The key factor here is the sensitivity of information being shared across time zones and cultures. That's going to be a major concern for the project manager.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this. I think it might have to do with the project environment, but I'm not confident. I'll need to review my notes on managing virtual teams.

This seems like a straightforward question about data privacy and security laws. Given that Noah's main concern is the potential mishandling of his credit report at Arnie's Emporium, I think the Disposal Rule under FACTA is the best answer. That rule requires companies to properly dispose of consumer information to prevent unauthorized access.
