On a related note, Reuters has a draft of the Security Council Resolution asking the

Gary Samore weighs in with this comment to Chris Nelson:
Just to clarify on Iran, the aim between now and the March IAEA meeting is not to get Iran to accept the Russian proposal, but to get Iran to restore the suspension of its enrichment-related activities as a basis for further discussions of the Russian proposal. It could take months or even years to agree on the details of the Russian proposal, but that’s okay as long as the suspension is restored.
