The document, authored by the Secretariat, outlines key questions and illustrative options for consideration regarding Strand One institutional arrangements in the context of the broader settlement leading to the Good Friday Agreement. It emphasizes the need for democratically elected institutions in Northern Ireland, including a Northern Ireland Assembly elected by proportional representation, with devolved executive and legislative responsibilities. The paper discusses ensuring community participation and protection, relationships with other institutions, the nature and size of the Assembly, procedural operations, legislative powers, executive appointments, and financial provisions. The aim is to promote constructive discussion without advocating specific options, drawing on historical and comparative examples to inform the debate.
