The document outlines two versions of the Ground Rules formula for the negotiations leading to the Good Friday Agreement, attributed to Ken Maginnis and Reg Empey version. Ken Maginnis's version emphasizes that all matters agreed upon within the negotiating process will take precedence over any opinions derived from the Ground Rules (cmnd 3232) or any other documents or agreements, particularly concerning the referendum. Reg Empey's version states that the outcome of the process will be agreed upon by specific mechanisms described in certain paragraphs, and this will be the only limitation on any agreement that can be reached. Both versions assert that participants acknowledge no other parameters apply to the process that could predetermine or constrain the outcome. [This document is possibly an internal UUP document.
