Agreed, not a positive update. But, I don't expect any update. I expect the MEC, the Communications Committee, the P2P, etc, to work at keeping us unified and working together. I expect the NC to negotiate, leave the comm up to the Comm Committee and stop begging us for validity.
add in edit: I don't want an update. I want the MEC and NC to work and get the best deal available. If that takes more than six weeks, that's all the update I need. That is, time passing and time past should be an adequate indicator of negotiation progress. That is (2), the company can make a deal in short order if they want to, any lengthy timespan indicates a recalcitrant management team.
