he wanted to talk about something else but seemed pleased with Our issue. Or at least said nothing negative- which with him is positive feedback.

Several points:
The timeline - January we get close to turning TM, she pushes for a settlement BUT says she will vote w chairwoman if no settlement. Chairwoman says no settlement tries to get DOJ to prosecute the case. DOJ says case is dumb, go settle
Months of lawyer discussions (I kibitzed)
Great settlement negotiated - NO monetary fine, unprecedented, rest of settlement good
Presented to Dan Loeb within past day or two - I don't know react, should be positive, but he is random. His react key to Josh mood, I suspect.
Next step would be 3point to sign agreement
Then commishes have to sign off
Now we have to see how other commissioners react - Rs are slight question mark, if they grumble too much, could provoke one of D commishes to counter react....
But, that is unlikely
I will soon need to confirm TM ok - when group ready
It is most important to confirm that Dan happy (he should be) and that Josh recognize that getting TM to express that a settlement should be reached set the stage for DOJ (TM old stomping grounds) saying ... Go Settle
