In addition, they will all be held in four separate rooms. So not only will the presenters have barely any time to discuss their specific concerns with the agreement, it will literally be impossible for negotiators to attend all the presentations they would be interested in hearing since they will all be held simultaneously in different locations. Moreover, this entire round of negotiations will last 10 full days, and so it seems especially odd that they would need to cut down time for public participation this drastically.<\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/www.eff.org\/deeplinks\/2012\/08\/ustr-whittles-away-public-participation'>TPP Countdown: USTR Whittles Away at Remaining Trace of Public Participation <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We just received an email from the USTR indicating that they are going to cut down the already inadequate 15-minute time allotment for our stakeholder presentation, to a mere eight minutes.
