DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 10798]


U.S. Department of State Advisory Committee on Private 
International Law (ACPIL): Public Meeting on Arbitration and 
Conciliation

    The Office of the Assistant Legal Adviser for Private International 
Law, Department of State, gives notice of a public meeting to discuss 
possible topics for future work related to arbitration or conciliation 
in the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL). 
The public meeting will take place on Tuesday, June 25, 2019, from 
10:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. EDT. This is not a meeting of the full 
Advisory Committee.
    UNCITRAL's Working Group II (Dispute Settlement) is currently 
working on the development of an international framework for expedited 
arbitration. The purpose of this public meeting is to obtain the views 
of concerned stakeholders on topics related to the characteristics of 
expedited arbitration, including how expedited procedures may affect 
the selection of arbitrators, relevant timelines, procedural and 
evidentiary matters and issuance of an award. Concerned stakeholders 
may also provide views on whether the project should also address 
emergency arbitrators and adjudication and early dismissal procedures, 
or be tailored for specific sectors that might benefit from expedited 
arbitration procedures. The discussion will draw on UNCITRAL Working 
Group II's report of its 69th session, held in February 2019 (Doc. No. 
A/CN9./969) (available at: https://undocs.org/en/A/CN.9/969).
    Time and Place: The meeting will take place on June 25, 2019, from 
10:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. via a teleconference. Those who cannot 
participate but wish to comment are welcome to do so by email to Karin 
Kizer 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.

Michael S. Coffee,
Attorney-Adviser, Office of Private International Law, Office of Legal
