the biggest unknown is how much dancin' back 'n forth has been done before the mediation begins

Think about IFX settlement - took maybe 2 to 3 weeks to hammer out - but without a mediator

Sammy's "term sheet" issue list should be well known from June's broken down negotiations, but back then they were working on a 1-year "standstill" type agreement

Just to recap (am I correct/complete?) -

= (per Nuke) Nov. 30th is the date that USDOJ vs. Samsung will come before Judge Hamilton for the final plea agreement and sentencing memorandum

= Jordan is taking his cues from Whyte (incl scheduling)

= Kramer date is Jan 12

= All the Whyte cases are on hold pending the mediations (and, we hope, his ruling on unclean hands in Hynix)

= Payne may hear argument 12-15 on the Sammy monstrosity
