CW Advisory Board members Eric Young of Guidepost Solutions and Ellen Hunt of Spark Compliance Consulting participated in the exercise.

Given that framework, their views expressed below might not be entirely representative of their personal feelings on these subjects.
Responses have been paraphrased for reading convenience.
