I don't actually think we're so divided.  Some of us just think it'd  
be better to tie ending to establishment of an external accountability  
framework (rules, not oversight), that the prospects for successful  
conclusion of such a thing become even more remote after a period of  
independent operation, and that this may further agitate things in  
certain intergovernmental circles.  It's a tactical and timing  
question rather than a matter of principle, and nobody's going to hari  
kari, especially if there's language reflecting the variation.  So  
let's focus on what unites rather than divides us (sorry to sound like  
Obama).

Anyway, yes with bracketed text.

Thanks for the good process management, Ian.

Bill
