    In June, the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law 
(UNCITRAL) approved revisions to the 1976 UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules. 
The 2010 UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules will take effect on August 15, 
2010. [http://www.uncitral.org/uncitral/en/uncitral_texts/arbitration/1976Arbitration_rules.html] In its next phase of work, the UNCITRAL 
Working Group on International Arbitration and Conciliation will take 
up the topic of transparency in investor-State arbitration. The Working 
Group is scheduled to meet in Vienna October 4-8, 2010. In preparation 
for that meeting, a public meeting will be held, under the auspices of 
the Department of State's Advisory Committee on Private International 
Law, to obtain the views of concerned stakeholders.
    Time and Place: The public meeting will take place at the
