A/HRC/FMI/2014/2 organizations in consultative status with the Economic and Social Council. The Forum will also be open to other non-governmental organizations representing minorities whose aims and purposes are in conformity with the spirit, purposes and principles of the Charter. 22. The views of participants from minority communities are consistently given a high priority in Forum proceedings. Given the thematic focus of the seventh session, it is crucial to ensure the participation of persons belonging to minorities and others with experience in situations of violence and of work in preventing or stopping violence. The participation of women and young people in the proceedings of the Forum is also particularly encouraged. 23. Requests to be accredited to the Forum should be sent to minorityforum@ohchr.org. VI. Format and agenda 24. The Forum has developed a unique format whereby participants comment on a set of draft recommendations circulated prior to the Forum session. The final recommendations are drawn up on the basis of interventions delivered at the Forum and information, surveys and studies received by the Special Rapporteur on minority issues. The session will be devoted to brief, targeted oral interventions commenting on specific provisions of the draft recommendations, limited to between three and five minutes each. Participants will be invited to formulate contributions to help develop the draft as the “outcome document”. In addition to the draft recommendations, an annotated agenda and programme of work will be provided in advance of the session. VII. Outcomes 25. The Chair of the Forum is responsible for preparing a summary of the discussions of the Forum, which is made available to all the participants. 26. In conformity with Human Rights Council resolution 19/23, the outcome of the session will comprise a set of thematic recommendations of the Forum, which will be presented to the Human Rights Council by the Special Rapporteur on minority issues. 9
