Saeb Erekat, a member of the PLO's Executive Committee and head of the Palestinian negotiating team, met with a series of American, British and Danish diplomats. He told them that the Palestinian decision to appeal to the UN General Assembly was final and that the request would be lodged after consultations had been held to finalize its wording (Wafa News Agency, October 1, 2012). However, the president of the General Assembly said that in the middle of November the General Assembly would deliberate on the Palestinian request for upgrading (Reuters, October 3, 2012).
