Enclosure: Northern Ireland Forum – Initial rules of procedure

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document outlines the initial rules of procedure for the Northern Ireland Forum as notified under the Northern Ireland (Entry to Negotiations, etc) Act 1996. It details the process for electing the Chairman, including the requirement for a 75% majority vote and the steps to be taken if no candidate achieves this threshold. It also establishes a Rules Committee to draft procedural rules, which must be approved by the Secretary of State to ensure they promote dialogue and consensus. The document specifies the formation and duties of the Business Committee, which arranges the Forum's business and advises on committee appointments. It sets guidelines for the conduct of business and provides for the appointment of temporary chairmen, the management of disorderly conduct, and the admission of visitors.
