Hi

The second half of this Dutch foreign ministry conference will be webcast today if anyone's interested.  Good MS participation there, including by some caucus members.

Hillary Clinton spoke yesterday and inter alia expressed opposition to the Russia/China/Uzbekistan/Tajikistan code of conduct proposal in the UNGA.

Is anyone aware what discussions have or will take place on that?  In September the caucus sent a letter to the president of the GA but I've not heard anything about this since.  Same for the Indian UNGA proposal… If anyone's following the GA, any update would be helpful…

Best,

Bill
