LGJ and Joe, my take as well. First there was the google PACER document information ( not PR'd [yet] [if ever in detail] ) and then settlements coming rapidly.. as if the big brother said "fight for yourself" or was it more like " you are team players with us and as the head of the team we are telling you to settle ..."
Is EDIG now part of the team??? EDIG under the wing of the team with "Political" clout??? That question runs through my mind.
And a step further, which we still do not have details on ( if EDIG is actually part of the Google team), is in what way and to what extent?
