[edit] Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
  • If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Al Gore's Seven Point Pledge with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:Al Gore's Seven Point Pledge saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

reposted from Kyoto protocol Talk page

[edit] the EU ETS is completely separate from Kyoto

Please post any evidence to the contrary. CorvetteZ51 (talk) 00:07, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Like any stock market, there are two parts to the trading mechanism - the market process, and the settlement process. The spot, futures & options markets systems operate independent of the ETS & Kyoto settlement systems, other than their contracts, which are compatible. But post-trade, the "settlement" systems are run by government bodies and are what enforce the Kyoto-ness on everything. Most market players dont need to be aware of this unless there is a problem somewhere.
  • Phase II of the EU ETS will operate entirely under the Kyoto umbrella and coincides with the 5 year Kyoto Compliance period. Like Kyoto systems, everything in the ETS is automated once a trade hits the registry. So for compatibility with Phase II, the Member States & EC registries 'borrowed' the Data Exchange Standard (DES) agreed under the Marrakech Accords and implemented it for Phase I. However, the EC have added their own extra processes such as requiring a "surrender" of allowances to the commission for checking before the Kyoto retirement phase. (The DES can be searched for & downloaded from the UNFCCC.int site. You will note that it contains a concept called a "supplementary transaction log" - this is to allow the EC systems to function under the umbrella of the UNFCCC, which requires direct access to each party in order to check & validate transactions for compliance under the parties' Kyoto obligations.) The UNFCCC systems validate EU allowances etc before they get passed to the EC systems for checking. Of course, this linkage has to be the case for CERs, ERUs, etc. to be fungible with EUAs, otherwise you will be comparing apples with oranges.
  • For Phase I the process is similar, although the ETS EUAs only cover 1 ype of GHG (as defined per Kyoto), and the NAP is set wholly within Europe without consulting third parties. Of course, the UN doesn't validate EUA trades during Phase I. However the Kyoto-compatibility issue still stands as the operators in Phase I need to access CERs during this period, and the CDM executive has been busy approving lots of CDM projects for the last year or two for them. For a concrete proof of how interlinked they are, the EC recently announced it has problems linking into the UN before the March 2008 CDM deadline for 2007 delivery. The market got the jitters and EUA prices jumped about 10% in an hour [1]
  • Its probable that the EU will be introducing additional types of unit that go beyond Kyoto in the future - though the mechanism of handling, say, aviation allowances, has not been agreed yet. Ephebi (talk) 01:56, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
