The compare and contrast will note areas of compliance and areas of noncompliance. You will then provide recommendations on how to improve the meeting, paying special attention to the fulfillment of the documentation of consent and participation and 8 components of the process.

   2. Address whether the notice of procedural safeguards was followed and what might be out of compliance.
