Because, as I pointed out in another message, the Chair's paper came out 
at 5pm (in print, only at 7:30pm), and we had agreed the intervention in 
the caucus meeting at 2:30pm and then in a quick random meeting in the 
office at 4pm.

So that brings back to Izumi's message about "how can we have procedures 
to be more effective in reacting immediately?"

P.S. If I remember the paper well, I don't find the Chair's oversight 
proposal so threatening: it said something like "at the end of the 
transition period, we might examine the opportunity to establish a 
government council" - i.e. a formula to mention the forum so that the 
proposal would be acceptable to the LMG, but keep it totally 
hypothetical so that the US could perhaps agree. It's a way, perhaps the 
only possible one if positions don't move, for the Chair (and the 
Summit) to save the day and get out of impasse on this specific point.
