[Jerusalem Post] Herb Keinon - The Israeli and Palestinian negotiators who will meet in Jerusalem on Wednesday to kick off final-status negotiations following last month's Annapolis conference will focus on process, procedure and building a framework for the bilateral talks aimed at reaching an agreement by the end of 2008, according to senior diplomatic officials.

The talks are expected to begin in earnest following President Bush's planned visit to the region in mid-January.
