International Law: Public Meeting on Micro-, Small-, and Medium Sized 
Enterprises

    The Office of the Assistant Legal Adviser for Private International 
Law, Department of State, gives notice of a public meeting to discuss 
ongoing work in the United Nations Commission on International Trade 
Law (UNCITRAL) related to micro, small, and medium sized enterprises. 
The public meeting will take place on Thursday, September 29, 2016, 
from 9:30 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. EDT. This is not a meeting of the full 
Advisory Committee.
    In 2013 UNCITRAL established a working group aimed at reducing the 
legal obstacles faced by MSMEs throughout their life cycle, and in 
particular those in developing countries. UNCITRAL further directed 
that the work should start with a focus on the legal issues surrounding 
the simplification of incorporation. At its upcoming session, the 
UNCITRAL MSME Working Group will consider draft recommendations on a 
legislative guide for a limited liability organization (UN Doc. A/CN.9/
WG.I/WP.99 and Add.1). The draft text, along with the reports of 
earlier sessions of the
