Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Mathieu has mentioned wanting to test splayed swings again, we feel that it is not probable or necessary (In person meeting, 5/13/19)
We are beginning another test plan and test predictions document to determine what we are testing.
