No problem.
It's just to say that this is a very standard type of provision in this kind of bill. It accounts for situations where some kind of action would need to be deemed valid under a treaty. The example I gave Mr. Vidal was a ratification vote. A treaty would usually come into force following the ratification vote or other ratification procedure of an indigenous government. The treaty itself would recognize that ratification, but the ratification, necessarily, needs to happen before the treaty is in force.
It's a matter of closing that technical loop to make sure that any pieces that need to be in place before the treaty comes into force are done validly.
