QuikQuote: "I'm heartened, but we're not done," Roy Disney, nephew of the company's co-founder, said in an interview at his Burbank office. He and Gold made clear that they were reluctant to declare victory too soon. They said they still could make good on their threat to propose an alternative slate of directors if it appeared the board was retreating from its promise to conduct a far-reaching search for Eisner's replacement.
Among Gold and Disney's biggest remaining concerns is the possibility that the board might end up backing Eisner's preferred choice, Disney President Robert Iger, when the search is completed. The directors recently praised him as an "outstanding executive" and the "one internal candidate."
