But for this round of negotiations, little has been typical.

In the last round of negotiations, the budget listed a 2 percent increase.

The latest round of negotiations broke down a year ago.

Then maybe a second round of negotiations could mean something.

The second round of negotiations was delayed until 28 March 2011.

No date was ever set for the next round of negotiations.

The first round of negotiations was held in December 2004.

A final round of negotiations with the Americans is set for today.

The most recent round of negotiations all but died early last month.

Going into the final round of negotiations last week, the two sides were only $16.5 million apart.
