Government Proposal:
At the conclusion of strand one in Belfast the next stage of the process would be launched in London as strand two but be designed only as a transitional or temporary stopping off point before returning to NI and operating outside the bounds of the Stormont Estate; strand two would be signed off at a meeting in Dublin. There would then follow the first meeting of strand three, in the Republic's capital - thus allowing the Unionists an initial opportunity to put proposals, as they had publicly stated previously they would do, to both Governments.
