Sorry gang, I have a few years of experience in negotiation under my belt, and my feeling are if the FSC thought they had a winner, they would not have made this deal.
I don't really see how today is a victory, except maybe for the FSC. An injunction being granted would have been a victory, and it more than likely would have been honored by all, and everyone would have enjoyed the fruits of said victory.
The government agreed to this deal because now they can proceed against anyone that is not a member of the FSC, pretty much with the blessing of the FSC. The government lost nothing by agreeing to this 45 day delay.
