2020年2月3日至7日，联合国国际贸易法委员会(UNCITRAL)将在纽约召开第二工作组（争议解决）会议，审议关于快速仲裁的条文草案，以及其如何与UNCITRAL现有文本相结合。工作组将在本届会议结束时通过一份报告，以提交暂定于2020年7月6日至17日在纽约举行的委员会第五十三届会议。
工作组一致认为快速仲裁是一种精简的简易程序，缩短了时限，从而能够以有成本效益和时间效益的方式达成解决争议的最终办法，而本草案的起草和通过将着眼于提高仲裁程序效率，从而减少程序费用和延续时间，而且微型、小型和中型企业将极大受益于快速仲裁。
工作组认为其应侧重于建立一个关于快速仲裁的国际框架，但不应影响该框架的形式，如一套快速仲裁的规则、示范条款和指导意见案文（“快速仲裁条文”）并与《UNCITRAL仲裁规则》。此外，随着取得进展对其他工作形式（如示范条款和准则）进行审议。
就具体形式而言，工作组认为快速仲裁条文既可将其作为《UNCITRAL仲裁规则》的附录提出，也可将其作为独立的案文（自成一体或与《UNCITRAL仲裁规则》相互参引）。虽然对各种办法各有利弊，但其最终目的需确保方便用户使用。
UNCITRAL提供了两种快速仲裁条文模式，其中一种是独立的案文，另一种是以对《UNCITRAL仲裁规则》进行修正的方式。二者的内容相同。究竟采取何种方式，以及最终的案文究竟为什么样子还有待于2020年2月3日至7日的会议讨论。
以下是A/CN.9/WG.II/WP.212/Add.1号文件中节取的作为《UNCITRAL仲裁规则》的附录提出的作为独立的案文的快速仲裁条文。作为《UNCITRAL仲裁规则》的“修正案”的条文亦在该文件中。最终文本有待会议商定。（文本请见：阅读原文）。
