even if they aren't "granted" yet? You set the 70mm shares aside, and when you gift them there is the actual expense right, but there is no vesting period per se? This would work for startups because any expense which has to factor in a risk premium won't work for startups. But there is no risk premium in these expenses right? Please don't tell me BS is used to calculate expenses on restricted stock! This isn't perfect, but it is better than the proposal on the table now afaic. OTOH I really don't think the current proposal will get through because it turns all these cash machine companies like ebay and cisco into money losing dogs and I think thats a tough pill to swallow for congress regardless of what FASB thinks.
