The Northern Ireland Women's Coalition, in their submission on procedural guidelines and the opening plenary agenda, expresses agreement with the proposed chairpersons for various committees. They emphasize the importance of the chair's role in facilitating the negotiation process without overstepping into decision-making. The Coalition advocates for a balanced approach where the chair acts as a catalyst to help parties reach agreements. They highlight the value of having a panel of internationally recognized chairpersons to assist in achieving a satisfactory process through mediation and arbitration. The Coalition raises concerns about the limited definition of 'sufficient consensus' in the Procedural Guidelines, proposing that it should include both majority acceptance by the main traditions and the agreement of a set number of parties. They suggest two options for applying sufficient consensus: either differently at various decision-making levels or in combination at all levels. The Coalition believes this approach would ensure meaningful involvement of minority parties and foster respect for minorities. They also call for flexible representation in sub-groups and committees to utilize the expertise of all parties and ensure full involvement in the consensus-building process. Lastly, the Coalition expresses satisfaction with the agenda for the Opening Plenary Session and does not seek any changes to it.
