Click on the title of this posting to get the details of this article

1. Iraq resumes its sessions on Monday
2. They will discuss the decision of the Federal Court, vote on government formation, and discuss the draft Law of the National Council for the strategic policies
4. The issue of nine vacant ministries will also be on the agenda
5. Nassif said there was a campaign a few days ago to collect signatures to demand Congress to expedite the filling of the vacancies
6. An MP from the Kurdistan alliance said they are working of the next 2 days to address their issues on the budget before approving the budget
7. The cabinet approved the amendments to the budget last Tuesday

I highlighted "vote on government formation" because it was said yesterday that Allawi and Maliki were scheduled to meet this weekend to select candidates for all open positions. Let's hope they meet and actually come to agreement.
