Jkt 244001
The Office of the Assistant Legal
Adviser for Private International Law,
Department of State, hereby gives notice
that the APCIL will hold a public
meeting via teleconference to discuss a
pending proposal on online dispute
resolution (ODR) in the Asia Pacific
Economic Cooperation forum (APEC).
This is not a meeting of the full
Advisory Committee.
In February 2017, the APEC Economic
Committee endorsed a work plan on
development of an APEC-wide
cooperative framework for ODR for
Micro, Small, and Medium Sized
Enterprises (MSMEs) in business-tobusiness (B2B) transactions, which is
currently co-sponsored by thirteen
member economies (namely, Australia,
Chile, Canada, Hong Kong, China,
Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand,
Papua New Guinea, Peru, Russia,
Chinese Taipei and the United States).
MSMEs have gained unprecedented
access to international trade via the
global supply chain and cross-border ecommerce, but to effectively reach
global markets these businesses need a
legal environment which enables the
quick resolution of disputes and creates
confidence in cross-border e-commerce.
The use of ODR could be an effective
means to solve this problem. ODR is a
way of resolving disputes using
traditional methods such as negotiation,
mediation, and arbitration, but with the
help of technology and without the need
for a physical presence at a meeting or
hearing.
At its most recent meeting in August
2017, the APEC Economic Committee
endorsed a revised work plan on ODR
that includes calls to inter alia ‘‘build a
pilot in conjunction with platform host/
ODR provider via outreach to regional
arbitration/mediation centers to
determine possible partners for hosting
ODR platform.’’ Additionally, the scope
of the project was expanded to include
PO 00000
Frm 00101
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
‘‘Use of Modern Technology for Dispute
Resolution and Electronic Agreement
Management’’ with the explanation that
‘‘it is also worthwhile to explore the use
of other modern technology such as
block chain, automated or smart
contracts for contract management or
enforcement and prevention of
disputes.’’ The APEC Economic
Committee has approved a two-day
workshop for the first Economic
Committee meeting next February to
discuss the work plan and the pilot
proposal.
This conference call will be a
continuation of the conference call
meeting that was held on November 1,
2017.
Time and Place: The ACPIL meeting
will take place on Thursday, February
15, 2018 from 10 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. EST
via teleconference.
Public Participation: Those planning
to participate should email pil@state.gov
to obtain the call-in number.
