Max,
At a time when CX is breaching existing RPs with every roster publication, I think you're concentrating a little too much on the niceties of the CC mandate.
Take or leave the pay deal but please remain in CC until RP negotiations are concluded.
I hardly think that CX would have the nerve to argue the scope of our mandate, with their track history. Even if they do call 'foul play' what can they possibly do about it? Make our rosters worse? That would take some creativity at this point.
