[Public Notice 8789]


U.S. Department of State Advisory Committee on Private 
International Law (ACPIL): Public Meeting on Conciliated Settlement 
Agreements

    The Office of the Assistant Legal Adviser for Private International 
Law, Department of State, gives notice of a public meeting to discuss 
possible work related to international commercial conciliation in the 
United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL). The 
public meeting will take place on Thursday, July 31, 2014 from 9:00 
a.m. until 12 p.m. EDT. This is not a meeting of the full Advisory 
Committee.
    At its July 2014 session, UNCITRAL will be deciding what projects, 
if any, its Working Group II (Arbitration and Conciliation) should 
begin at its fall 2014 meeting. The United States has proposed that the 
Working Group develop a convention on the enforcement of conciliated 
settlement agreements that resolve international commercial disputes. 
See A/CN.9/822, available at http://www.uncitral.org/uncitral/commission/sessions/47th.html. UNCITRAL may or may not decide to 
develop such a convention.
    The purpose of the public meeting is to obtain the views of 
concerned stakeholders on what any such convention should provide and 
how the various issues identified in the proposal should be addressed. 
Those who cannot attend but wish to comment are welcome to do so by 
email to Tim Schnabel at [email protected].
    Time and Place: The meeting will take place from 9:00 a.m. until 
12:00 p.m. in Room 4835, Harry S Truman Building, 2201 C Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20520. Participants should plan to arrive at the C 
Street entrance by 8:30 a.m. for visitor screening. If you are unable 
to attend the public meeting and would like to participate from a 
remote location, teleconferencing will be available.
    Public Participation: This meeting is open to the public, subject 
to the capacity of the meeting room. Access to the building is strictly 
controlled. For pre-clearance purposes, those planning to attend should 
email [email protected] providing full name, address, date of birth, 
citizenship, driver's license or passport number, and email address. 
This information will greatly facilitate entry into the building. A 
member of the public needing reasonable accommodation should email 
[email protected] not later than July 24, 2014. Requests made after that 
date will be considered, but might not be able to be fulfilled. If you 
would like to participate by telephone, please email [email protected] to 
obtain the call-in number and other information.
    If UNCITRAL does not decide to commence work on this project, this 
public meeting will not be held; those who have communicated their 
intent to attend will be notified if the meeting is cancelled.
    Data from the public is requested pursuant to Public Law 99-399 
(Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of 1986), as 
amended; Public Law 107-56 (USA PATRIOT Act); and Executive Order 
13356. The purpose of the collection is to validate the identity of 
individuals who enter Department facilities. The data will be entered 
into the Visitor Access Control System (VACS-D) database. Please see
