That is what I understood as well but I'm still a little unclear why they weren't included in the final accord. I've heard some talk about objections from China but would appreciate any insights. I've been asked to speak to the local UN chapter next week and am trying to piece together the story of what happened.

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...

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.
