"To put forth OUR PLAN should not have ANY impact on negotiations"

While I too am weary and would like some official word, it will not happen.

Generally, you are incorrect in that statement. Negotiations in business are not revealed until concluded for a reason -- any outside influence could impact negotiations.

When BMH talked to Fung recently (as posted), Fung said that we are in negotiations for a more rapid payoff than arbitration, and that we will not run out of cash. I like to think that Fung was being truthful.

If you have any questions, call Fung. Apparently he is accessible and willing to talk, although likely will not say as much as you (or I) would like.
