•Trade negotiators will publicly disclose negotiating drafts and provide the public with an opportunity to comment.

•Trade advisory committees will prioritize the views of workers and consumers.

•The US International Trade Commission will provide a regional analysis of the economic effects of a trade agreement.

• The congressional approval process will offer more opportunities for the public and elected representatives to shape trade agreements.

In other words, full public consultation and a proper cost benefit analysis for starters. No more secret deals rushed through Congress only to leave ordinary people hung out to dry. There's a lot in there - another step in saving our democracy.
