A third draft was released on the basis of the electronic consultation as well as existing UN reports on Indigenous Peoples’ participation in the United Nations, earlier responses to questionnaires on Indigenous peoples’ participation at the UN and good practices within the UN and the consultative meetings with Member States and Indigenous peoples on 11 and 18 May, on 30 June, as well as meetings held with Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the Chair of the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and members of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.

The last consultative meeting took place on 30 June at 10 am. in Conference Room 1 at the United Nations. All Indigenous Peoples and Member States were invited to attend and contribute to the consultation.
