The document [version 2 of a possible approach to resolving procedural difficulties], dated 11 June 1996, addresses procedural difficulties encountered during the negotiations leading to the Good Friday Agreement. It notes that while some parties were satisfied with the proposals for managing business as outlined in the 6 June papers, others had reservations, particularly concerning the procedural guidelines to be operated by the chair during negotiations. The document suggests that appointing independent chairmen, specifically Senator Mitchell for the Plenary, General de Chastelain for Strand Two and the Business Committee, and Mr Holkeri as an alternate chairman, would facilitate the orderly transaction of business. Following these appointments, concerns about the procedural guidelines and the agenda for the opening plenary session would be thoroughly explored. The proposal emphasizes that the procedural arrangements must satisfy all participants and that ultimate agreement on these and other matters rests with the participants. The document outlines a proposed agenda for the 12 June meeting, including the appointment of chairmen, introductory remarks, a formal declaration of commitment to democratic and non-violent principles, and a public statement of this commitment. It also details a consultation process involving the two governments and the chairmen to address concerns, with a report back to the Plenary by 19 June to finalize the procedural guidelines and the agenda for the opening plenary session. [The document is annotated and modifies the wording used in version 1].
