I can confirm Dan's understanding. The version I had in hands had the
Accord, including empty appendices, to which informal tables were
annexed (as prepared by the secretariat) - for developing country list
a footnote even referred to the fact that some of the "actions" listed
were taken from news reports...

As I understand it, these were just illustrative lists stapled by

Subject: Follow up to "Copenhagen Accord - missing numbers"
Dear all again
I might be able to answer my own question. Have just found a report
from David Doniger from NRDC Climate Center who refers in his blog
to such a draft being circulated but says that it turned out to be
an illustrative example reportedly offered by the EU at the November
negotiating session in Barcelona -http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/ddoniger/the_copenhagen_accord_a_big_st.html
But still keen for any insights on this, particularly from those who
were there.

suggests that at some stage late in the piece at Copenhagen there
was a version of the Accord that included actual commitments in both
the Appendixes. I just want to check whether this was an actual part
of the drafting process - ie was this option actually considered as
part of the negotiation and was then dropped - or whether this was
just an informal attempt to see what the appendixes might look like
if announced commitments were included.
