My guess is they've pushed for a deal that encompasses the principles of the recent DGA settlement and, although that doesn't go as far as the WGA (or Whedon) would like, the WGA recognizes that it's such a big step in the right direction that it's the right place to cave, and that the studios are unlikely to give

For All You WPA and WGA Lovers
It has been assumed that Dena Higley was scabbing and sending her scripts in via her husband--and that, because of this system, Dena Higley's WGA standing (and good standing in the WGA, to be HW at Days after the strike) is therefore safe, despite the reek of scabbing about herself and her husband.

The WGA ballot mailing had no "con" comments from members, which is reportedly unprecedented. Look for a very high "yes" vote. As for Harlan Ellison, it's pretty hard being a L'Enfant terrible at the age of 73. Gotta cut the old guy some slack here. But you can be a curmudgeon. This post reminds me of his essay
