The document, authored by the Strand One Secretariat and dated 9 March 1998, outlines key areas of divergence and convergence among parties involved in the Northern Ireland peace negotiations. It aims to facilitate further discussions by highlighting unresolved issues, particularly regarding the devolution of powers, the exercise of executive responsibility, and the structure of the proposed Assembly. The paper notes a general agreement on devolving the administration of the six Northern Ireland Departments and discusses various models for executive responsibility, including committee and cabinet models. Additionally, it addresses safeguards for the exercise of executive powers and the potential structure of the Assembly, suggesting a single chamber of 90 members elected under the STV system [single transferable vote], with some support for additional seats to ensure broader representation.
