- This is a document created by the Cayman Islands Government in preparation for the September 29 – Oct 2, 2008 negotiation meetings between the FCO and Cayman delegation. This document has been released ONLY as a working draft and is subject to further review and agreement by all parties concerned. This is NOT a final draft.
It is expected that another 2-3 rounds of meetings will be required before a draft Constitution is agreed upon. Thereafter, the draft will be available for public discussion in early 2009. The public will then be asked to vote on the draft Constitution at the Referendum which is expected to be held in mid 2009.
Second round of constitutional negotiation meetings will be announced shortly.
