Access to the platform
Participants must use their laptop to join the virtual informal meetings, as the Interprefy platform does not support mobile devices. Chrome browser is recommended when accessing the virtual platform link.
The link to join the virtual platform will be sent by e-mail to the participants who are on the list of speakers.
To avoid overloading the platform, participating organizations should limit their participation in the virtual platform to no more than two representatives and only to those sessions in which their organization is on the list of speakers. Participants are encouraged to coordinate virtual participation on the platform among their representatives to ensure that the participation limit of two representatives is respected at any given time. Only those participants who wish to speak in a given meeting should log into the Interprefy platform. All other members of the organization can watch the meetings live on UN Web TV. In the event that participation in the platform is close to capacity, the Chair may authorize the Secretariat to withdraw the participants. There is no limit to the number of people who can follow discussions through ONE Webcast, and the Webcast will be archived.
To help the Chair identify participants on the virtual platform, upon joining the meeting, participants are asked to follow the naming convention format, ie: [ORGANIZATION] [FIRST NAME] [LAST NAME].
If participants do not clearly identify their affiliation when joining the platform, their admission to the meeting may be delayed and they may be required to temporarily leave the meeting and rejoin with the correct naming convention format.
Interactive discussions
The Permanent Forum will hold interactive discussions on topics 3, 5 f) and 5 c) at its informal virtual meetings on April 20, 27 and 28, respectively. Representatives of ECOSOC-accredited non-governmental organizations and indigenous peoples’ organizations have already expressed interest in speaking during the interactive dialogues and will be sent a link to join the session. Depending on the time available, the Chair will call some to intervene.
Given the limited time available and to allow the maximum number of participants to speak, interventions should be limited to no more than two minutes each, or shorter if there are a large number of requests. The time limit will be strictly enforced, including by muting the microphones once the time limit is reached. The Chair may intersperse the interventions of the participating States with interventions of international organizations, representatives of the United Nations system and representatives of non-governmental organizations and organizations of indigenous peoples.
General Discussion
The Chair will conduct the general discussions in accordance with the practice established in previous sessions. Consequently, the list of speakers will rotate between statements by a representative of a Member State, followed by a representative of an intergovernmental organization or UN agency, followed by an indigenous representative. Speakers may only speak once on an agenda item. The time limit for all statements is two minutes. The time limit will be strictly enforced, including by muting the microphones once the time limit is reached. Speakers are encouraged to submit abbreviated versions of their statements.
Below is the provisional list of speakers for general discussion under each agenda item.
