This document contains the summary record of the informal discussion on procedural guidelines and the agenda for the plenary session that took place on 27 June 1996. The record notes the absence of "certain parties" (referring to DUP) from the meeting. The meeting began at 14.25 with comments from Quentin Thomas on the amendment to paragraph 2 of the Proposed Additions to the Draft Rules of Procedure from 27 June 1996. David Trimble noted that he found the wording of the amendment regarding Strand 3 unsatisfactory, as they did not recognise the impact that inter-governmental deliberations would have on the people of the two countries. Thomas pointed out that other provisions in the Draft Rules provided for the involvement of parties in Strand 3, and Sean O'hUiginn expressed apprehension that widening the remit of the strand would lead to the involvement of parties from the two countries in it. Robert McCartney and Trimble highlighted that the disposal/replacement of the Anglo-Irish Agreement was an important issue for their parties. John Alderdice criticized the parties for ignoring previous discussions on this issue. The Chairman went on to discuss some scheduling issues, including the date and time for the formal plenary and the informal discussions for next week. The meeting adjourned at 15.00.
