Jason Pielemeier reports (lightly edited):
So today the discussion focused on webcast. It was clear from yesterday that webcasting (as defined in the Appendix) would not get consensus, but the real issue today was on whether simulcasting (as implicated by Art. 6) would be allowed to go through. There were some interesting exchanges including a particularly good one between the EU and India on the difference between digital broadcast and digital content.
There was enough non-consensus on simulcasting that even the US had to agree with a proposal by India to schedule another SCCR (15), presumably before the Sept General Assembly meeting. However, while India's proposal was to separate webcasting and simulcasting completely and have the next SCCR focus on broadcasting, the US wants it to include both in any future discussions. Egypt then pointed this out and said there was much less likely that SCCR 15 could be successful in producing consensus on a draft text before the GA if webcasting were included. The chair then proposed that he will make a tentative conclusion on what should be discussed at 15 and that will be discussed after lunch.
I'm not sure what this means for timing except that it might delay the diplomatic conference . . . though there is no guarantee on that.
