As I understand it, these were just illustrative lists stapled by the Secretariat to the Copenhagen Accord, to show what the annexes could look like. They were never the subject of negotiations among states.

Have just found a report from David Doniger from NRDC Climate Center who refers in his blog to such a draft being circulated but says that it turned out to be an illustrative example reportedly offered by the EU at the November negotiating session in Barcelona - http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/ddoniger/the_copenhagen_accord_a_big_st.ht ml But still keen for any insights on this, particularly from those who were there.

I just want to check whether this was an actual part of the drafting process - ie was this option actually considered as part of the negotiation and was then dropped - or whether this was just an informal attempt to see what the appendixes might look like if announced commitments were included. > > Can anyone help? > > http://www.pej.org/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=79 06&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 > > Cheers > Lorraine > > Dr Lorraine Elliott > Senior Fellow in International Relations > Department of International Relations > Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies > College of Asia and the Pacific > The Australian National University > Canberra, ACT 0200 > AUSTRALIA > > e: [email protected] > t: +61 2 61250589 > f: +61 2 61258010 > Dr Lorraine Elliott Senior Fellow in International Relations Department of International Relations Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies College of Asia and the Pacific The Australian National University Canberra, ACT 0200 AUSTRALIA e: [email protected] t: +61 2 61250589 f: +61 2 61258010
