The document, authored by the UK and Irish Governments, outlines the scenario for the opening plenary session of the substantive multi-party talks scheduled for 10 June 1996. It emphasizes the necessity for all participants to commit to the principles of democracy and non-violence as stipulated in the International Body's report and to address decommissioning proposals. The British Government will chair Strand One, while both governments will jointly chair Strand Three, with Senator George Mitchell, General John de Chastelain, and Mr Harri Holkeri invited to provide independent chairmanship for various aspects of the negotiations. The opening plenary session will include formal declarations from participants, the appointment of a Business Committee, and discussions on a comprehensive agenda and decommissioning. The session aims to establish a subcommittee on decommissioning and will conclude with a statement from the Independent Chairman. The document also includes procedural guidelines for the negotiations, detailing the roles of chairpersons, the conduct of proceedings, decision-making processes, and the establishment of committees and subcommittees. The agenda for the negotiations will cover issues within the three strands, focusing on relationships within Northern Ireland, the island of Ireland, and between the UK and Irish Governments, with a concluding plenary session to address outstanding issues and the implementation of a comprehensive agreement.
