FWIW... at last week's meeting of the (Swiss) alliance against TTIP,
TiSA & co, it was shared that a Swiss member of parliament had recently
asked the Swiss government for an update on TiSA, and was given the
answer that further TiSA negotiations are "postponed indefinitely". I
suppose that in this case "indefinitely" means something like "until
the Trump administration has made their mind up on whether they want to
pursue TiSA further or not".

Greetings,
