<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What We Need Your Input On<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The design team was tasked with two key tasks:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">providing guidance on how to select an algorithm for the root zone, and<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">investigating how a rollover could be conducted.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">The team specifically seeks feedback on their recommendations and whether the rollover methods are appropriate. The exact timing of an algorithm rollover and the design of detailed operational plans was out of scope for the design team.<o:p></o:p></p>
