Context: The approach, following Eisenhower, is “The way to solve a big problem is to make it bigger”. There are six component categories of possible elements or courses of action based on the principles of national self interest, gains from trade, and protection against high risk. The six points in Waterloo, plus a possible declaratory introduction, amount to a series of possible commitments by L14 leaders which will have the effect, taken together, of building a Kyotoplus package. The package makes clear there is no desire to invent new bodies for their own sake, and that the thrust of the effort is to reshape current institutions in a practical way.
