The next negotiating round of the Trans- Pacific Partnership will take place Leesburg, Virginia from September 6-15, 2012. USTR will be hosting a Direct Stakeholder Engagement event on Sunday, September 9, 2012. This event will provide stakeholders the opportunity to speak directly and one-on-one with negotiators, raise questions, and share their views. We tried this approach two rounds ago in Dallas, and most stakeholders expressed their preference for this one-on-one engagement. Some stakeholders said they would like the opportunity to make presentations to negotiators, as in earlier negotiating rounds, and we will accommodate these requests. In addition, there will be a stakeholder briefing on September 9th.
