A few points are worth making with reference to the above comments
Firstly, it's not the work of Ban Ki Moon
Second, of course Assad is not going to go quietly, and no one is asking him to - yet.
This is a key change from before, and presumably why the Russians were so seemingly enthusiastic about it. They've vetoed all previous SC resolutions on Syria with the exception of the one on ISIS.
What Syria's people desperately need is a ceasefire in the Civil War, which most people here seem to be in denial about, and which has been raging with and without the input of various "jihadist" groups
The framework is an attempt to get the main sides in it to stop - at least bombing the **** out of civilians, while allowing for continued action against sides deemed too extreme to be involved.
It does seem all a mite optimistic, but it is progress. There will only be a ceasefire if it is in the interests of the major players to stop fighting, so maybe there is now hope that that WILL happen. It can't be any more ridiculous than the Minsk agreement, which nevertheless has worked for now in Ukraine because regardless of the actual terms, it gave each side the excuse they were looking for to stop the conflict, or at least drastically reduce it.
"Watching the recording of the 10 o'clock news reporting the vacuous nonsense which which passes as critical analysis. "
