The Casting treaty? No, It’s not really dead yet

Friday June 22 1 pm

The following is circulating right now:

Draft conclusions of the Second Special Session of the SCCR on the Protection of Broadcasting Organizations
Prepared by the Chair

SNIP
The Committee made the following recommendation:
SNIP
The Director General
-convenes a session for joint analysis of notions, terms and conceptual basis of the instrument

The General Assembly

-decides that a Third Special Session of the SCCR be convened in November/December 2007

-decides to postpone the Diplomatic Conference from November/December 2007 to be held in 2008

END OF QUOTE

of course, that does not mean that this would be agreed upon but it shows what the Chair’s “fertile mind” can come up with and we’ll see how member states react a 2pm during the plenary. Right now, I see many people shaking their head in disbelief.
