Abstract
This document identifies possible elements of a text relating to issues outlined in document FCCC/KP/AWG/2008/8, paragraph 49. The possible elements are based on the annexes to the reports of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG-KP) at its fifth and sixth sessions, as well as on relevant submissions by Parties in 2008 and 2009. They indicate the action that needs to be taken by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol to adopt proposals relating to these issues and/or to request any follow-up work to implement such proposals. The elements identified in this note could enable Parties to move rapidly towards the development of such a text, as foreseen by the AWG-KP at its resumed sixth session
