Here’s a reformatted version of the notes that @Michelle_B kindly put together! (Also I filled out my section with more thorough answers).

If anyone is still looking at this, I’d point out that the “reformatted” version doesn’t include all the written answers that candidates were encouraged to add to the meeting notes. The original version is a little less pretty but it is readable and includes more information:

Sorry about that. When I first made it, it included all the info in the original doc. I didn’t puzzle out how set it up to automatically update content based on changes to the original. Thanks for including the original link!
