Observers for intergovernmental organizations, United Nations bodies, specialized agencies and other organizations would be limited to one statement of five minutes per item. That speaking time would also apply to Government observers. It was also agreed that statements by Government observers under any agenda item should not address the human rights situation in countries other than their own, except when exercising the right of reply. Statements in exercise of that right should be limited to three minutes for the first statement and two minutes for the second, normally to be exercised at the end of the general debate on any particular agenda item. 20. The Sub-Commission also accepted the recommendation that special rapporteurs and other experts entrusted with the preparation of reports or working papers should limit their statements to 20 minutes, to be divided between the introduction of the report and the concluding remarks. An interactive dialogue with members of the Sub-Commission, as well as observers, would follow such presentations. 21. It was agreed that Sub-Commission members taking the floor on procedural matters should be as brief as possible and in no case exceed two minutes. 22. It was also agreed that the list of speakers would be opened at the beginning of the session for all participants to register to speak on any agenda item. If the list of speakers had not been exhausted during a particular meeting, the remaining speakers would be given the floor, in the same order, as the first speakers at the next meeting. The closure of the list of speakers on any item would be announced by the Chairperson in advance, normally at the beginning of the consideration of that agenda item. 23. It was also agreed that if there were no more speakers on an agenda item at a particular meeting, the Sub-Commission would take up the next item on its calendar, without closing the discussion on the preceding item, if deemed necessary. 24. It was further agreed that, in order to respect editorial and other requirements, draft resolutions and decisions should be submitted at least three working days before the date on which they were scheduled to be considered. The deadlines for the submission of draft resolutions would be set by the Chairperson in consultation with the Bureau and announced sufficiently in advance. 25. Also at its 2nd meeting, the Sub-Commission approved the timetable for the consideration of agenda items proposed by the Bureau in the following order: 1, 7, 2, 4, 6, 5, 3 and 8. G. Other matters 26.
