[CRISP-TEAM] Review Committee changes

[Izumi Okutani]

Thank you Alan. This looks good to me.

I thought the way you re-structured the paragraph made it easier to read
with concept first then details.

I also liked where you placed to move the  "Appointment of a different
contractor". It does make it less contradictory than placing under no
change in operartor.

Thanks Alan for incorporating my feeback.
