According to the Bonn agenda, they are expected to report their progress in Bonn, but not to have final recommendations for another year. More tax dollars down the drain. Every two years, the COP adopts a budget, then assesses each nation a proportional amount. Many nations are asked to pay only a few hundred dollars. The bulk of the money comes from the developed nations, and as usual, the United States pays the lion's share.
Cash flow is a continual problem caused by nations that fail to pay their assessment on time.
Like every UN climate change meeting since Kyoto, the delegates will meet, there will be very little press coverage in the United States, and the administration will continue to develop policies to conform to the decisions made in Bonn. While a handful of Congressmen have attended these meetings, most have not, and consequently, have very little understanding of either the Protocol, or the procedure by which the policy decisions are made. The Kyoto Protocol is being implemented by the UN as if it were already international law.
