Structural design and analysis and other practical engineering considerations indicate that the 3-point, kinematic chamber support concept in the GEM Technical Design Report should be replaced by a 4-point, {open_quotes}partial{close_quotes} kinematic support design. Detector physics performance may increase due to a resulting decreased mass in the secondary support structure.
