New rules :-)

Finally, something positive after two days of negotiations turbulence!
The Danish have decided to subdivide negotiations into two groups, headed by Connie Hedegaard. The will only work with the two official drafts of the text and no new documents will be allowed. This is to get G77 to start moving and assure them of not side-stepping the democratic process. This new system also limits the risk of state of heads coming in and unexpectedly trying to alter the process in the last minute, which is very positive. The High-level segment of COP15 is temporarily suspended in order to gain speed for the remaining time of the conference. I'm getting updated by the progress from BINGO e-mails flowing out from Bella Center and from various news sources. That is actually somewhat better than being "trapped" inside Bella Center, although it would have been nice to have a chit-chat with Sarkozy and the guys over there...
Stay in tune for the grande finale!
