    And to the most important group: The ~700 registrars who participated in this study. Your participation is greatly appreciated. Based on feedback we got from you, mostly notably your comments and suggestions, we were able to find many areas that needed clarification. Many of these clarifications were added to Version 1.7 releases of the SSDI and Grade Manuals, EOD and Summary Stage.

    Thank you so much to everyone for your assistance. It has been a great privilege working with all of you. ��
