It's unlikely but just possible that a province or two might make an announcement just before the meeting to try to influence the discussion.
On past experience the press conferences, releases and information that will emerge from the meeting will tell us very little. We'll need the usual combination of leaks and Kremlinology to guess at the content of what is said, never mind its implications.

I believe that the Covenant is now dead as an idea. No incoming Archbishop will run with what is a failed initiative on the part of his predecessor, although he may offer some emollient words.
