The suit was filed this morning (Thursday) and was assigned to the same judge who is handling the Microsoft case.This is now posted, along with a press release summarizing the complaint, at www.antitrustinstitute.org. We have also posted our 47-page comments on the Microsoft settlement under the Tunney Act. Recently we posted information about two new Advisory Board members, Patricia Connors and Douglas Rosenthal. Trish is the antitrust chief in Florida and head of the NAAG Multistate Antitrust Task Force. Doug is former head of the Foreign Commerce Section of the DOJ and a partner in Sonnenschein, Naff, and Rosenthal. It is worth reiterating that Advisory Board members do not vote on substantive positions of the AAI. The Advisory Board is quite diverse in makeup and there is no implication that all members agree with positions AAI takes. In many situations, an Advisory Member recuses himself or herself from the informal consultation process that typically occurs.
