**U.S. Department of State Advisory Committee on Private International**  **Law (ACPIL)—Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Study Group** 

The Office of the Assistant Legal Adviser for Private International Law, Department of State, hereby gives notice that the ACPIL ODR Study Group will hold a public meeting. The ACPIL ODR Study Group will meet to discuss the next session of the UNCITRAL ODR Working Group, scheduled for May 20– 24 in New York. This is not a meeting of the full Advisory Committee.

The UNCITRAL ODR Working Group is charged with the development of legal instruments for resolving both business to business and business to consumer cross-border electronic commerce disputes. The Working Group is in the process of developing generic ODRprocedural rules for resolution of crossborder electronic commerce disputes, along with separate legal instruments that may take the form of annexes on guidelines and minimum requirements for online dispute resolution providers and arbitrators, substantive legal principles for resolving disputes, and a cross-border enforcement mechanism. One of the key issues that the working group is addressing is the identification of security issues relating to use of the ODR Rules, including measures to address the risk of fraud involving consumers who participate.

For the reports of the first five sessions of the UNCITRAL ODR Working Group—December 13–17, 2010, in Vienna (A/CN.9/716); May 23– 27, 2011, in New York (A/CN.9/721); Nov. 14–18, 2011, in Vienna (A/CN.9/ 739); May 21–25, 2012, in New York (A/ CN.9/744); and November 5–9, 2012, in Vienna (A/CN.9/762)—please follow the
