Olga,
I used the term ‘Common Ground” only because that’s what Julia and Finn called it in their email today, “common ground proposal”.
Their note says, "This common ground proposal builds on the Brazilian proposal and aims at integrating the feedback and alternatives from the CCWG list discussions, including an attempt to address the concerns with
regard to "consensus".
Dear Steve
thanks for the document.
It is not clear to me why the text sent before the call is considered common ground proposal.
The document should also include Pedro's proposal.
Regards
Olga
Mathieu asked me to document some variations on the Common Ground proposal that circulated before today’s ST18 call.
I showed the original text in column 1 of the attached 1-page document.
I added three “bracketed” variations on using a footnote, per discussion on today’s call:
The 1st bracketed text is a close copy of Denmark’s original.
The 2nd bracketed text documents the GAC’s present practice for consensus.
The 3rd bracketed text indicates GAC consensus matches whatever the UN is practicing as “consensus” at that time.
