<br>
Following Bertrand’s circulation and Jeremy’s questions here are some
more details after a short meeting with Charles Geiger and Phone call
with Amb. Karklins<br>
<br>
The Geneva negotiation sessions without observers will be entirely
dedicated to de-bracketing and finding progress on the existing
texts;(Governments prerogatives so far) no new ideas will be taken into
consideration. (This does not mean that CS cannot lobby with their own or
other friendly governments in providing language which could be
helpful)<br>
Ambassador Karklins will also meet each morning and evening before
official meetings with CS present and inform on progress made (or lack
thereof)<br>
<br>
At the resumed session in Tunis, PrepCom rules will be applied, given
time to observers in the two Sub-Committees (depending how much progress
has been made in Geneva in Sub Committee B) and, to the extent of the
Conveners willing, in the Drafting WGs. The session in Tunis will
not be held in the KRAM but in a yet to be determined other venue, and
existing space could become an issue. Therefore overpasses might need to
be applied.<br>
<br>
Sub-Committee A is still in a crafting/drafting process, therefore
contributions can be sent to Ambassador Massood Khan by e-mail. <br>
<br>
More information on other issues will be sent by Philippe. Wishing you
all a restful weekend!<br>
<br>
Best<br>
Renata <br>
