> New Draft of Summit Declaration is Being Debated
> Closer to final document, but conflicts remain
>
> Paris, 17 July 2003. Two hours ago, at 16:30, the new draft of the
> summit declaration was released by the secretariat. It incorporates the
> rough consensuses reached during the first two days of of the Paris
> Intersessional Meeting. With this new basis for further negotiations,
> the delegates are much closer towards agreeing on a final draft for the
> heads of state and government, who are to sign it at the summit in
> December. The delegates are currently discussing the new draft and will
> probably not finish before later this evening. The main conflict areas
> remain: the right to communicate, intellectual property vs. the public
> domain, internet governance, and security. Other important issues have
> been dropped out, like Gender equality.
