Day One. 2 June 2015
17 out of 21 EAOs attend. Chairs: Mutu, N’Banla and Khun Myint Tun.

Chair message: NCA will pave the way for political dialogue. Pragmatist approach is the driving principle for  negotiation.
Nambiar and Sun Guoxiang: as already reported by agencies.
Nai Hongsa delivers NCCT report.
Saw Mra Raza Lin reads out NCA draft.
Questions for NCCT:

• Did the NCCT have mandate?
• What if we do not get the desired outcome at PD?
• Why some articles are left to be negotiated later?
• Can the draft be changed? etc.

Day Two. 3 June 2015
Chairs: N’Banla, Khaing Re Khaing, Pu Lian Uk

Chair: Government promise for federal union has no substance, as shown by continued offensives against EAOs.
Each EAO reads out assessments and recommendations on NCA:

• change of words
• registration with an international body
• inclusiveness

NCCT response:
We have not sacrificed the principles laid down by previous EAO summits. When we could not get agreement we made a condition that it should negotiated again in future. Some NCCT members did not appear to inform their own EAOs properly. NCCT could work on what was mandated. It was not mandated to reduce armed conflicts that took place during negotiations. One reason for the NCCT to try to get a final draft at the 7th meeting was because of information that the UPWC had run out of mandate.
37 out of 40 points for the COC  (Code of Conduct) that came out of previous EAO summits are in the draft. But for JMC (Joint Monitoring Committees), more work still needs to be done.
