[bestbits] Last day of WTPF - drafting concluding statement

[parminder]

And of course the proposed statement is employing a very one sided 
meaning and implication of enhanced cooperation, not at all as it is 
meant in the Tunis Agenda....

Enhanced cooperation in Tunis agenda is among governments to enable them 
to fulfil their public policy roles, in consultation with all 
stakeholders.... As all of the best democracies do or should do (if 
anyone has any instance of any democracy going beyond this, except 
referendums which I welcome, pl give an example)
