Under the terms of operative paragraphs 1, 2 and 5 of draft resolution A/HRC/3/L.6, the Human Rights Council would: (i) Decide to establish an open-ended intergovernmental, intersessional working group to formulate concrete recommendations on its agenda, its annual programme of work, its methods of work as well as its rules of procedure in accordance with General Assembly resolution 60/251, to undertake transparent, well scheduled and inclusive consultations, with the participation of all stakeholders; (ii) Further decide that the working group shall have at its disposal 10 days of fully serviced meetings, half of them to be scheduled before the fourth session of the Human Rights Council and half of them before its fifth session which shall allow sufficient time and flexibility for the fulfilment of its mandate; (iii) Request the working group to report to the Council at its fourth session on progress made. 2. Should the draft resolution be adopted by the Human Rights Council, total full costs for conference servicing of the Working Group are estimated in the amount of US$ 241,400 for the 2006-2007 biennium as follows: Section 2, General Assembly and Economic and Social Council affairs and conference management Section 28E, Administration, Geneva Total United States dollars 235 000 6 400 241 400 3. Provisions have not been made under the 2006-2007 programme budget for the above-mentioned activity, under section 2, General Assembly and Economic and Social Council affairs and conference management, nor section 28E, Administration, Geneva. Should the draft resolution be adopted, additional resources would be required as reflected in paragraph 3 above. 4. It will be recalled that under the procedures established by the General Assembly in its resolutions 41/213 of 19 December 1986 and 42/211 of 21 December 1987, a contingency fund is established for each biennium to accommodate additional expenditures derived from legislative mandates not provided for in the programme budget. Under this procedure, if additional expenditures are proposed that exceed the resources available from the contingency fund, the activities concerned can be implemented only through the redeployment of resources from low-priority areas or the modification of existing activities. Otherwise, such additional activities must be deferred to a later biennium.
