I want to know the answer to the following question:
How many of the former republics had representatives sign the Protocol?
All the background I'm provided with is that "However, on December 21, 1991, representatives of 11 of the 12 former republics – all except Georgia – signed the Alma-Ata Protocol, which confirmed the dissolution of the Union and formally established the CIS.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
