Intended as the launch of a new millennial round of trade negotiations that would have been called "The Seattle Round", the negotiations were quickly overshadowed by massive and controversial street protests outside the venues where the confererence was taking place. Negotiations were formally resumed the next meeting which was held at Doha, Qatar, a locale easier to control and police. Thus the current round is called "The Doha Round"
