032938 - 033528 Chairman In response to deputations' concern about the Administration future refinement to the method for selecting CE, USCMA said that after achieving universal suffrage, should there be a need to amend the method for selecting CE after 2017, Article 7 of Annex I to BL and the "Five-step Process" of constitutional development had already provided a clear legal basis for initiating such further amendments to the method for selecting CE. He emphasized that the Proposals could respond to the strong aspiration of the different sectors of the society to implement universal suffrage for the selection of the CE as scheduled, and to allow Hong Kong’s constitutional development to move forward.
033529 - 034234 Chairman Discussion on the need to conduct a referendum Mr WONG King to gauge public views on the Proposals. Mr HOR Wing-kit Mr Charles Peter MOK Mr Charles Peter MOK queried the Youngspiration Administration's claim that there was mainstream support in the community for the Proposals. - 6 -
Time Marker Speaker(s) Subject(s) Action required 034235 - 035114 Chairman Dr Priscilla LEUNG considered that there were Dr Priscilla LEUNG merits in forming the nominating committee Mr CHAN Kam-lam ("NC") by following the same framework of the four sectors of the Election Committee in order to strike a balance among the interests of all sectors and ensure the preservation of the capitalist system in Hong Kong.
Mr CHAN Kam-lam emphasized that the discussion had to be based on the legal framework constituted by BL and the Decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress ("NPCSC") on 31 August 2014 ("2014 Decision of NPCSC").
035115 - 035545 Chairman Discussion on whether the Proposals should be Mr Augustus LEE Kai-bun supported and endorsed by the Legislative Mr LAM Sik-kin Council ("LegCo"). Mr WONG King Mr FONG Sung-yau
035546 - 040358 Chairman Mr Charles Peter MOK stressed that the Youngspiration Government should respond to Hong Kong Mr Charles Peter MOK people's demand for genuine universal suffrage. Mr CHAN Kam-lam Mr Jeffrey LAM Mr Jeffrey LAM considered that debating over Administration whether the Proposals would allow Hong Kong people to have genuine or fake universal suffrage was meaningless. He agreed that the method for selecting CE by universal suffrage should strictly comply with the Basic Law and the relevant Decisions of NPCSC. He believed that after CE was selected by universal suffrage through "one person, one vote" in 2017, the electoral method could be refined in future.
In response to concern of some deputations, USCMA explained the constitutional responsibility of NPCSC under the "Five-step Process" of constitutional development.

065331 - 065637 Chairman Ms Starry LEE pointed out that if the Ms Starry LEE constitutional reform proposal was voted down by LegCo, the method of selecting CE in 2012 would continue to apply according to the 2014 Decision of NPCSC, and forming LegCo by universal suffrage would be deferred.
065638 - 065941 Chairman Ms Cyd HO considered that the Ms Cyd HO "first-past-the-post' voting system might not ensure that the CE-elect would have sufficient legitimacy in the community as the candidate who obtained the highest number of votes might, in fact, have obtained only a small number of valid votes. She said that she would vote against the Proposals which were formulated under the restrictive framework of the 2014 Decision of NPCSC.
