U.S. Department of State Advisory Committee on Private 
International Law (ACPIL): Public Meeting on Security Interests

    The Office of the Assistant Legal Adviser for Private International 
Law, Department of State, hereby gives notice that the Security 
Interests Study Group of the Advisory Committee on Private 
International Law (ACPIL) will hold a public meeting. The Security 
Interests Study Group will hold the meeting to discuss several matters 
relating to security interests that will be addressed at the upcoming 
annual meeting of the United Nations Commission on International Trade 
Law (``UNCITRAL'' or ``Commission'') scheduled for July 3 through 21 in 
Vienna. This is not a meeting of the full Advisory Committee.
    At its upcoming session the Commission will consider several items 
relating to security interests. First, the Commission will consider 
finalization and adoption of a Guide to Enactment of the UNCITRAL Model 
Law on Secured Transactions (A/CN.9/885 and Add.1-4). Second, the 
Commission will consider possible future work in the area of secured 
transactions. The Commission has placed on its security interests 
future work program: (a) The question whether the UNCITRAL Model Law on 
Secured Transactions and its guide to enactment might need to be 
expanded to address matters related to secured finance to Micro, Small, 
and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSMEs); (b) the question whether any 
future work on a contractual guide on secured transactions should 
discuss contractual issues of concern to MSMEs (e.g. transparency 
issues); (c) any question that might not have already been addressed in 
the area of warehouse receipt financing (e.g. the negotiability of 
warehouse receipts); and (d) the question whether disputes arising from 
security agreements could be resolved through alternative dispute 
resolution mechanisms. These and other possible future work topics 
relating to security interests were considered at a Fourth 
International Colloquium on Secured Transactions in March. The 
Commission will have before it a Note by the Secretariat summarizing 
the results of the colloquium (A/CN.9/913). Finally, the Commission 
will have before it the question of the endorsement of the ICC Uniform 
Rules for Forfaiting (URF 800) (A/CN.9/919). The Commission documents 
will be available at http://www.uncitral.org/uncitral/commission/sessions/50th.html.
