I believe the SEC rule is the SHM can be no later than 18 months from the last one. I'm not sure where I read this, so imput by others requested.

That could be as far as mid-Mar, 2010.

IMO, last years date was set assuming the LG settlement would have been before 9/17, and it ended up being 9/25.

The longer they put it off, the better chance they have for events taking place, hopefully all good ones, and the more upbeat the meeting will be. One does not have to be very smart to understand the "natives are restless" and want results.

Last year we had 7 settlements to look forward to...now we have digEcor about to be ruled on, maybe an appeal after that, Samsung to be done 9/18, so with no new items in the pipeline, it could be a challenging meeting Q&A wise.

If I were a BOD member, I would put it off as long as the law allowed, hoping for many significant accomplishments, to get the biggest bang for the buck when the EDIG herd shows up.

If they hold the meeting offsite this year to accomodate more than 50 people, that may send a signal too.

Just my thoughts on the matter.
