30 October 2014: UN General Assembly President Sam Kutesa has re-appointed Ib Petersen, Permanent Representative of Denmark, and Robert Aisi, Permanent Representative of Papua New Guinea, to continue consultations to finalize the draft resolution on the organizational modalities for the UN summit to adopt the post-2015 development agenda.

Petersen and Aisi co-facilitated consultations on the modalities during the 68th UNGA session, and submitted a draft resolution that constituted the basis for a consensus, per their letter of 12 September. The draft resolution was forwarded to UNGA 69 for action.

Consultations will continue, however, in order to decide on dates for the summit and UN General Debate that do not coincide with a UN holiday.

A revised draft of the resolution is annexed to the letter, indicating 28-30 September 2015 as dates for the Summit.
