In a letter dated 12 June 1996, Patrick Mayhew confirmed the nomination of John Gorman as the interim Chairman of the Northern Ireland Forum, following consultations with all elected parties. The first meeting of the Forum was scheduled for 14 June 1996, at the Interpoint Centre, York Street, Belfast. The letter, addressed to David Trimble of the Ulster Unionist Party, outlined the procedural details for the opening session, emphasizing that these were intended to facilitate the initial proceedings rather than dictate the Forum's conduct. The proposed agenda included the interim Chairman reading the notification of the meeting, conducting the election of the permanent Chairman, allowing party leaders to make brief statements, and establishing a Rules Committee to draft the Forum's Rules of Procedure. The letter stressed the importance of promoting dialogue, understanding, and consensus across Northern Ireland's communities and invited feedback on the proposals.
