经过协商，我相信大家都知道，宪法委员会将起草一项宪法改革，联合国将为护持并协调叙利亚人自主的这一进程扮演重要角色。确定如何选出规模较小的起草机构以及它如何开展工作也至关重要。因此各方必须同意这些关键细节。坦率地说，我知道我们总会过于乐观或是悲观地看问题，但是我们已经取得真正的进展。我们的名单几近完成。操作规则变得稍微明确了一些，但我们还需要继续付出努力。
My consultations also leave me confident that it is understood that the constitutional committee will draft a constitutional reform and that the United Nations will have the crucial role of accompanying and facilitating this Syrian-owned process. It is also crucial to identify how the smaller drafting body would be selected and begin to work. The parties therefore need to buy into those key details. Let us be frank. I know that we always tend to look at the glass as either half full or half empty, but there has been real progress made. We nearly have a list. The rules of procedure have become a little clearer, but we need to go that extra mile.
