Feb. 23, 2010 -- Foreign ministers drafted a proposal over the weekend for the creation
of a bloc of the Americas without the United States and Canada. At
the current summit, however, leaders were only expected to make a
formal decision about the creation of the new organization. A taskforce
was expected to be created to work on the details, with a view to
actually launching it at the next regional summit, in July 2011 in
Venezuela.
