On Friday, the IAEA's 144 members will be briefed on the technical details of the India-specific safeguards agreement. On August 1, the IAEA board of governors will take up the safeguards agreement for approval. Immediately after approval, the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, is expected to convene an extraordinary plenary meeting of the 45-member Nuclear Suppliers Group. The idea is that the NSG exemption should be through by early September.
