I was struck by the following in Mike's blog: "We think an investor would more readily agree to call the special meeting to consider what do to with Red Lobster than they would vote for the actual resolution to not spin-off Red Lobster. Support for the special meeting does not necessarily translate into support for the resolution, which probably helps Darden."

I'm curious--is your decision to give Starboard your consent to call a special meeting independent of your views on the resolution?  Will you only consent to the special meeting if you support Starboard's resolution?
