> it's just positive coverage of this agreement As the article mentions, it's very likely that New York Times hasn't seen the agreement. Otherwise they could just leak it to the public. So what do they endorse?

Thank you! Search engines are spoiling us. Entire article about an acronym that doesn't bother decyphering or explaining it.
