The matrix is intended as a tool, to serve a basis for topical discussions of the proposals when we reconvene in the fall. Between now and then, it is my hope that it will help Members to identify areas of greatest and least convergence among the proposals and thus assist us in sharpening our focus as we intensify our work in the lead-up to MC11. Concerning its content, the matrix is organized into rows representing the topics and sub-topics, and columns representing the proposals. Thus for each topic or subtopic, the matrix presents a side-by-side comparison of the corresponding texts from the proposals. Regarding the topics and subtopics, these have been derived from the proposals themselves and the aim is that each row in the matrix addresses one main idea. Thus, the breakouts are as granular as required to do this, such that similar ideas across different proposals are grouped together. The way that the topics are broken out has meant that in some cases the text from a given proposal on a particular topic is a partial excerpt from the relevant provision in that proposal, rather than the entire provision. In addition, for the same reason, in some cases, where a particular provision in a proposal is relevant to more than one topic, it is repeated in each place where it is relevant. Because of the variation in the structures of the different proposals, some compromises were necessary in categorizing elements of certain proposals. Again, this is entirely without prejudice to the substance. Full text is available at: https://docs.wto.org/dol2fe/Pages/SS/directdoc.aspx?filename=q:/tn/rl/w273.pdf
