Sonic22 .. However I do think IDCC mgmt should provide those goals on what would entail them 3 for 1 RSU's in Jan 2008.

It sure would be nice from a DD standpoint but I would imagine that they could not be published with any degree of specificity without disclosing confidential information from a competitive standpoint. I'm sure it comes as no surprise to you, but I am definitely a glass is half-full guy. My interpretation of this change is that the performance hurdles were raised significantly, not lowered or kept the same. This was accompanied by both a "carrot" (3 for 1 if more than 150% of goal met) and a "stick" (nothing if less than 80% of goal met) which are important elements in any successful incentive compensation plan.

I can certainly understand why some could see this as just more compensation for less effort. But it is more likely IMO that it is a change whose purpose is to more closely align compensation with performance.
