1. Ascertaining whether the licensee disputes any facts recorded on the licensee's record abstract issued by MVC, and, if so, which facts and on what basis;

2. Ascertaining whether the licensee disputes the severity of the action proposed by MVC, and, if so, on what basis;

3. Ascertaining any discovery needs of the licensee; and
