IN THE CORRIDORS

As the meeting began to consider draft decisions, many delegations reflected on the process used to develop the decisions. Delegations large and small commented that the organization of consultations into an array of formal and informal groups influenced their ability to participate fully. Several small delegations admitted that they had not expected to be able to follow the entire drafting process, no matter what approach was employed, and reported that they relied on regional group representation and coordination with other delegations. Delegates and observers noted that until the COP agenda becomes more manageable, any negotiating structure will remain challenging.
