This is a working document, not just words on a page. This Protocol was prescribed to bring about vast reductions of greenhouse gases. No one expected the USA to increase it's emissions working against the efforts of an entire international community.
As a working document there is going to be an ongoing process that will be recorded to share with all those involved.

Real people committed to returning Earth's troposphere to function by restoring it's biotic content and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It is not an empty document. It is real. The people are real. The commitment deeply felt.
7. Extraordinary sessions of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol shall be held at such other times as may be deemed necessary by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to this Protocol, or at the written request of any Party, provided that, within six months of the request being communicated to the Parties by the secretariat, it is supported by at least one third of the Parties.

The admission and participation of observers shall be subject to the rules of procedure, as referred to in paragraph 5 above.
The international community never assumes it will provide all necessary expertise and leaves open the possibility of more involvement that can and will make a difference to the reduction of greenhouse gases and progression of the return of biotic content to countries.
