U.S. Department of State Advisory Committee on Private 
International Law: Notice of Annual Meeting

    The Department of State's Advisory Committee on Private 
International Law (ACPIL) will hold its annual meeting on developments 
in private international law on Monday, October 19 and Tuesday, October 
20, 2009 in Washington, DC. The meeting will be held at the Michael K. 
Young Faculty Conference Center, George Washington University Law 
School, 2000 H Street, NW., Washington, DC 20052. The program is 
scheduled to run from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.
    Time permitting, we expect that the discussion will focus on 
developments in a number of areas, e.g., federalism issues in 
implementing private international law conventions (including the Hague 
Convention on Choice of Court Agreements, the UNCITRAL E-Commerce and 
Letter of Credit Conventions, and others); private international law 
initiatives in the OAS; cross-border corporate insolvency; the new 
Rotterdam Rules on carriage of goods at sea; international family law; 
investment securities and treaty law; and commercial law treaties and 
trends. We encourage active participation by all those attending.
    Documents on these subjects are available at http://www.hcch.net; 
http://www.uncitral.org; http://www.unidroit.org; http://www.oas.org, 
and http://www.nccusl.org. We may, by e-mail, supplement those with 
additional documents.
    Please advise as early as possible if you plan to attend. The 
meeting is open to the public up to the capacity of the conference 
facility, and space will be reserved on a first come, first served 
basis. Persons who wish to have their views considered are encouraged, 
but not required, to submit written comments in advance. Those who are 
unable to attend are also encouraged to submit written views. Comments 
should be sent electronically to [email protected]. Those planning 
to attend should provide name, affiliation and contact information to 
Trish Smeltzer or Niesha Toms at 202-776-8420, or by e-mail to 
[email protected]. You may also use those contacts to obtain additional 
information. A member of the public needing reasonable accommodation 
should advise those same contacts not later than October 12th. Requests 
made after that date will be considered, but might not be able to be 
fulfilled.

    Dated: August 27, 2009.

Assistant Legal Adviser, Office of Private International Law, Office of
