Thanks to those of you who joined our call last Friday with Charlotte Towne (EASL Chair), Davey Jay (EASL Chair-Elect), and Rob McNeely (one of the brief’s authors).
Special thanks to Mike Colitz for moderating the call and to Michael Chesal, Mark Stein, Doug McDonald, Joe Englander, and James Stephan for digging into legal arguments that EASL found helpful.
For the record, no new vote was taken and our vote in support of the brief (submitted to the BLS on Monday, September 26) was based on the outline circulated by EASL. I am told that, because of timing issues, it is not uncommon for the section not to have a brief prior to being asked to take a position. It is my understanding that our vote is interpreted in that context.
I have forwarded Charlotte’s note of appreciation and the brief EASL filed today.
Thanks again and enjoy!
-Kimra

To: Kimra Major-Morris <[email protected]>
Dear Kimra,
Thank you again for organizing the conference call earlier this week between our EASL representatives and your IP Committee members to discuss EASL’s position in its Amicus Brief in support of Flo & Eddie, Inc. The discussion was helpful and inspired us to address some of the questions raised during the call more thoroughly in the brief. It was filed today. Attached is a copy. Please feel free to share our brief with your members. We hope you enjoy reading it.
Sincerely,
Charlotte
