VI. Format and agenda
19.
The Forum has developed a unique format whereby participants comment on a set of
draft recommendations prepared and circulated prior to the Forum session. The draft
recommendations will be developed on the basis of information, surveys and studies
received by the Independent Expert on minority issues. The session will be devoted to brief,
targeted oral interventions commenting on specific provisions of the draft
recommendations. Participants will be invited to devise their contributions to help develop
the draft as the subsequent outcome document. In addition to the draft recommendations, an
annotated agenda and programme of work will be provided in advance of the session.

21.
In conformity with Human Rights Council resolution 19/23, the outcome of the
session will comprise a set of action-oriented thematic recommendations that will
subsequently be presented by the Independent Expert on minority issues to the Human
Rights Council.
