fantmdave,

I have mixed feeling on this one. I could argue that 'if' it's a good deal (our MEC must think so?) that we should take it before it gets negotiated into a deal that isn't as good - or - I could argue that if the company wants this bad enough to offer a good deal that maybe we could (should?) use that (leverage?) to help expedite a COMPLETE TA in a timely manner

It would be nice to get a TA in a timely manner instead of 2-3 years from now ...
