The document, authored by the Ulster Democratic Party, outlines the rules and procedures for the plenary sessions of the negotiations leading to the Good Friday Agreement, dated 14 June 1996. It specifies the role of the Independent Chairman, who is tasked with presiding over the negotiations impartially, managing the scheduling of meetings, and ensuring orderly conduct. The Chairman has the authority to proceed with meetings even in the absence of some participants and to impose time limits on interventions. Decisions are to be made through a process that seeks unanimity, but if that is not achievable, the Chairman can determine if there is sufficient consensus based on specific criteria, including the support of parties representing over 66% of the valid poll from the 30 May 1996 elections and the backing of at least seven parties. The document also details the establishment of a calendar by the Business Committee, the setting of agendas, and the procedures for addressing disagreements, including the formation of working groups or consulting experts. Changes to these rules require the agreement of all participants.
