I'm positive talks are occurring whether you want to believe it or not. That's not to say anything will come to fruition.
I'll use your definition. No behind the scenes talks in spite of what you are positive of. They very likely could start at any moment, but as of yet I haven't seen anything; and the MEC status reps would have to see it before approving the negotiators to even entertain it with negotiations.
