[Public Notice: 9774]


U.S. Department of State Advisory Committee on Private 
International Law (ACPIL): Public Meeting on Insolvency-Related 
Judgments and Enterprise Group Insolvency Issues

    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 the recognition and enforcement of 
insolvency-derived judgments and the insolvency of cross-border 
enterprise groups. The public meeting will take place on Tuesday, 
November 22, 2016 from 9:30 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. EST. This is not a 
meeting of the full Advisory Committee.
    For its last several sessions, UNCITRAL's Working Group V has been 
focused on two projects: A model law on the recognition and enforcement 
of insolvency-related judgments, and model legislative provisions that 
would assist courts in addressing the cross-border insolvency of 
enterprise groups. In December 2016, Working Group V will continue to 
discuss the draft texts for both projects. Along with documents from 
past sessions, the Secretariat papers for the December session will be 
made available at http://www.uncitral.org/uncitral/en/commission/working_groups/5Insolvency.html.
    The purpose of the public meeting is to obtain the views of 
concerned stakeholders on updated drafts prepared by the UNCITRAL 
Secretariat on both topics: The recognition and enforcement of 
insolvency-related judgments and the insolvency of cross-border 
enterprise groups.
    Time and Place: The meeting will take place on November 22, 2016, 
from 9:30 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. via a teleconference. Those who cannot 
participate but wish to comment are welcome to do so by email to Tim 
Schnabel at [email protected].
    Public Participation: This meeting is open to the public. If you 
would like to participate by telephone, please email [email protected] to 
obtain the call-in number and other information.

    Dated: October 17, 2016.
