So now I, we're going to go to the next slide and I'm going to kick it over to Betsy and she's going to talk about operational improvements. So what we learned from year 1 and how we're incorporating those changes into year 2. Thank you, Commissioner. And as you mentioned, yes, we've made a number of changes to the process in response to a lot of the lessons that we've learned and the reflections that we have after year 1. We're really trying to make the next cycle easier to understand for applicants, easier to apply to, and faster to move through.
