We all have our views on that.

The Convention has already played a positive role in bringing the previously closed process of treaty change into the open. This is not properly appreciated. All the other treaties were hammered out in rooms beyond of public access. The Convention is working in the public view. All the Convention documents and Government submissions are available on the Internet. It is an entirely different, more revolutionary and, in my view, positive process.
