The document, dated 29 July 1996, outlines the rules of procedure for the Northern Ireland negotiations, as stipulated by the Northern Ireland (Entry to Negotiations, etc) Act 1996 and Command Paper 3232. It details the structure of the negotiations, which are divided into three strands: relationships within Northern Ireland (Strand One), relationships within the island of Ireland (Strand Two), and relationships between the British and Irish Governments (Strand Three). The roles and responsibilities of the chairmen, including Senator George Mitchell, General John de Chastelain, and Prime Minister Harri Holkeri, are specified, emphasizing their impartiality and the need for confidentiality. The document also covers the decision-making process, which is based on consensus, and the procedures for conducting meetings, maintaining records, and liaising with the Irish Government and political parties.
