[Reference Guru Paulette from 5-6-2024 below] I totally agree with [Guru] Paulette on this WTO ascension ..as stated 1st round of task complete, second round of task is still a work in progress, fully expect the ninth to come and go with Iraq still on the outside looking in, good thing is they are determined to be a member and led by Sudani will get there eventually.

Community Comment: “On May 9th it has been announced that Iraq will become a FULL member of the WTO.” I have not seen where Iraq has participated in the Third Round of negotiations…It took Iraq since 2004 to complete everything assigned in the First Round of negotiations. It was only earlier this year that they completed those requirements. They were given tasks in the Second Rd of Negotiations which they are in process of completing. They may be given tasks in the Third Rd of Negotiations also. The Third Rd is scheduled for “mid-year”. I believe the only countries that have completed everything for the May 9th Ascension Ceremony are Comoros and East Timor….
