DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 11952]


U.S. Department of State Advisory Committee on Private 
International Law: Public Meeting on the Final Report of the Experts 
Group on Parentage/Surrogacy Project of the Hague Conference on Private 
International Law (HCCH).

    The Department of State's Advisory Committee on Private 
International Law (ACPIL) will hold a virtual meeting to discuss the 
Hague Experts Group Final Report on Parentage/Surrogacy Project on 
Wednesday February 1, 2023. The meeting will be held in WebEx. The 
program is scheduled to run from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
    The meeting will discuss the Final Report of the Experts' Group 
regarding the feasibility of one or more private international law 
instruments on legal parentage. The Final Report has been made 
available on the HCCH website at https://assets.hcch.net/docs/6d8eeb81-ef67-4b21-be42-f7261d0cfa52.pdf. The Report will be considered by the 
Council on General Affairs and Policy (CGAP) in March 2023, at which 
CGAP is expected to decide on whether future work on the project should 
be pursued. This Report presents the HCCH Experts' Group on Parentage/
Surrogacy analysis and main conclusions on the feasibility of the core 
aspects of possible options for two separate binding legal instruments 
on legal parentage: one on legal parentage in general, and another on 
legal parentage established as a result of an international surrogacy 
arrangement (ISA) specifically. The purpose of the public meeting is to 
obtain the views of concerned stakeholders on the matters presented in 
the Report.
    Members of the public may attend this virtual session and will be 
permitted to participate in the discussion. Virtual attendance is 
limited to 100 persons, so each member of the public that wishes to 
attend this session must provide: Name, contact information, and
