* Note: Stage 1 Experts have a slightly different view of the Question List. Only

Questions that have zero time remaining or close to zero time remaining (varies by

category) in the "time remaining" column will be on the Question list for Stage 1

Experts. Once Experts reach Stage 2, they will have an expanded view of the

Question List and will be able to respond to all open Questions. Also note: "Time

remaining" is different than when a question "times out." You can learn more about

Questions timing out here.
