The document outlines proposed amendments to the draft rules of procedures for the substantive multi-party talks leading to the Good Friday Agreement, comparing them with the original Ground Rules Document from April 1996. It details the structure and sequence of the negotiations, which are divided into three strands: relationships within Northern Ireland, relationships within the island of Ireland, and relationships between the British and Irish Governments. The amendments emphasize the roles of the British and Irish Governments, the establishment of a Business Committee to coordinate procedural issues, and the principle that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. Additionally, it includes specific amendments proposed by the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), the Ulster Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), and the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), focusing on the procedural conduct, participation criteria, and the roles of chairpersons in the negotiations.
