I had sent my lawyer a copy of the MDL 926 email going around and to tell me what it is referring to. And to put it in simple language. This is what he sent. Kathy- It looks like the Claims Administrator is reading the A Disability claims very tightly and more restrictive than anticipated and that the Claimant's Committee is fighting it. I assume that Dow agrees with the administrator and the Committee does not. Thus, there is a motion pending and they are alerting people as to try and do something. ============================================================================================ Dow Corning Claimants ~~ Letter/petition to Judge Hood ~~ Sign online, fax or mail MESSAGE FROM SUSAN AYERS -- Dear friends, We are writing again to let you know two things about the message at http://www.BreastImplantAwareness.org/JudgeHood.htm (see revisions) (1) If you cannot send a fax,

or mail a signature form to Judge Hood, you can send your information by email. Please be sure to give the information listed below, so we are able to submit it for you, otherwise we can't include it. Ultimately, you sending your true signature to Judge Hood by fax or mail is much better. If by email, send TO: hecate1@... SUBJECT: Electronic signature ___________________________________________________ Your "electronic signature" (your email address) -- FIRST and LAST NAME -- ADDRESS (# / street / city / state / zip) -- (2) Signing on to this letter/petition will not hold up claims processing. As we understand, by reading newsletters and pleadings made by the Claimants' Advisory Committee, claims are currently being processed with this more harsh change to what we agreed upon when we voted on the Plan . Claims are being processed this very unfair way, even though CAC began submitting pleadings on this issue just about six months after the Plan became effective. As Judge Hood contemplates her decision, w e are able to send our voice from the sidelines as we agree with CAC and add

some perspectives, which have not been presented to Judge Hood. It is best for us to win this fight to stop this unfair change in processing right away, so CLAIMS CAN BE PROCESSED MUCH MORE QUICKLY UNDER MORE FAIR GUIDELINES. (This will include claims being processed more quickly for all those who were also in the Revised Settlement Program (RSP) because they've already been approved, and should "pass through" more readily instead of having the standard for claims changed on them and administered more harshly as well). Now it's easier than ever for you to stop in your tracks right now

and send me your electronic signature, or better yet, send me an email and let us know that you have sent your own fax with handwritten signatures from you and your family. Best of Luck to Us All, Ayers hecate1@... Contact person for letter/petition P.S. We have received some OUTSTANDING LETTERS. If we may post what you write, please let us know!
