The program is scheduled to run from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday

    Time permitting, the discussion is expected to focus on

implementing private international law conventions (including the Hague 
Convention on Choice of Court Agreements, the UNCITRAL E-Commerce and 
Letter of Credit Conventions, and others); globalization and cross-
border corporate insolvency; international arbitration; investment 
securities, market stability and treaty law; international family law; 
private international law initiatives in the OAS; on-line dispute 
resolution; and treaty-based finance law. We encourage active 
participation by all those attending.

additional documents.
    Please advise as early as possible if you plan to attend. The 
meeting is open to the public up to the capacity of the conference 
facility, and space will be reserved on a first come, first served 
basis. Persons who wish to have their views considered are encouraged,
