<p class="MsoNormal">To the best of my recollection, the draft answers to the Board questions were highly technical in nature and hedged a lot of "what-ifs". I don't think the language used there comports with the current draft Study 2.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sorry I did not realize the answers to the Board questions were going out for public comment. I'm not at all sure they should go through that process either.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm glad to know that Michael is trying to conform those answers to the current version of Study 2. I'm happy to go through the Board questions document whenever we have received the current revisions to the Study 2 document and whenever
Michael has finished his changes to the Board questions document.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I believe we will need a meeting to address the draft Board question responses at the beginning of the year if these are supposed to go out for public comment. A LOT has changed since that document was drafted a long time ago.<o:p></o:p></p>
