Passed (___)
Failed (___)
(___) Unable to control placement of the mend: very inconsistent.

[GH] Come forth with your questions, concerns and comments.
It is likely that many of the questions of interpretation may have already been answered in the discussions on Task 3.

[GH] From Dusty Sprague :
Gordy,
The comments are beneficial to the committee as they will point us to consider wording we might otherwise take for granted that readers would 'understand'.
I think its easy for examiners to form their own interpretations of requirements particularly when a particular aspect is not specifically discussed in the task description, or expectations or Note section. Understandable. In the upcoming revision we have attempted to be more explicit, and additional work is yet needed. The appropriate approach for examiners is to focus on the stated task requirements and nothing more (task description, task expectations, reasons for failure and broad requirements in the Note section). Examiners should avoid 'adding' requirements where none are stated, e.g., leader straightening on this task....not required.
