Notice.
The statement is admissible only if the proponent gives an adverse party reasonable notice of the intent to offer the statement - including its substance and the declarant's name - so that the party has a fair opportunity to meet it. The notice must be provided in writing before the trial or hearing - or in any form during the trial or hearing if the court, for good cause, excuses a lack of earlier notice.
