This document discusses drafting issues and working group discussions around revisions to the UNCITRAL Model Law on Public Procurement. It outlines key considerations in updating the model law, including whether it should address stakeholder concerns, be simplified for developing nations, or separately address contract performance. It also summarizes the working group's discussions on issues like electronic procurement, suppliers lists, framework agreements, and socioeconomic programs.

clubs, luxury vacations, the use of a Ferrari, designer clothes
