    2. Section 2 and Section 3 are good, cover successes from top to bottom as the topics were raised by the reviewers.

    4. Basically remove section 4

    5. In the eval working group, the reviewers acknowledge Lisa's work and the feedback gathered.

    6. One of the upcoming reviewers said, how the ACO is asking for feedback?  Is the ACO asking for feedback from the teams, EAB etc. This will be a potential question during the upcoming review.
