that I work together with a small team of chair-appointed legal experts to
review legal questions as they come in. The membership of this team is not representative,
but expertise based. Members of the Legal Advisory Group are asked to provide
advice based on their legal experience, factoring in all aspects of the
conversation, not only that of their respective constituency. It is important
to state that any output of deliberations of the Legal Advisory Group will be
shared with the EPDP Team for review and agreement.</span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US" class=""> </span></p><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="">At this time, I do not anticipate a weekly

to the EPDP Team’s Phase 2 work, it will not be reviewed further. If the

Priority 1 or a Priority 2 item. </span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="">3.<span style="font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-family:"Times New Roman"" class="">
