-  <p>We’d like to contact other employees in your organization about your domain request. For example, they could be involved in managing your organization or its technical infrastructure. <strong>This information will help us assess your eligibility for a .gov domain.</strong> These contacts should be in addition to you and your authorizing official. They should be employees of your organization.</p>
+  <p>To help us assess your eligibility for a .gov domain, please provide contact information for at least two other employees from your organization.
+    <ul class="usa-list">
+      <li>They must be employees who are clearly and publicly affiliated with your organization and familiar with your domain request. </li>
+      <li>They do not need to be involved with the technical management of your domain (although they can be). </li>
+      <li>We typically don’t reach out to these employees, but if contact is necessary, our practice is to coordinate with you, the requestor. </li>
