    A Working Group of the United Nations Commission on International 
Trade Law (UNCITRAL) has for some time been considering revisions to 
the 1976 UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, which are widely used 
internationally. The next meeting of the Working Group is scheduled for 
September 14-18, and it is possible that the Working Group may conclude 
its work at that session. Accordingly, prior to that session a public 
meeting will be held, under the auspices of the Advisory Committee on 
Private International Law, to provide an update on the status of the 
Working Group discussions.

and is expected to last no later than 4 p.m. If you are unable to 
attend the public meeting and would like to participate from a remote 
location, teleconferencing will be available.
    Public Participation: It is requested that persons wishing to 
attend contact Trisha Smeltzer prior to September 2, 2009, at
