1. (SBU) Poloff discussed reftel points on October 10 with
the Department of Foreign Affairs' Director for International
Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Jesus Domingo.
Domingo took note of our view that the "opt-in" approach is
the only viable way to reach consensus on an Anti-Vehicle
Mines protocol this year. He promised to review the issue
with Department of National Defense counterparts. Embassy
will pass a separate copy of these points to relevant DND
offices.
