This is a transcript of a significant part of an interview conducted by China Law & Practice editor Phil Taylor with Yu Jianlong, vice-chairman and secretary-general of the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, on May 22 2009 in Hong Kong

Mr Yu, could you start by telling me about your role at Cietac?

At Cietac we have a secretariat in charge of the work. It provides services to both parties and arbitrators to take care of the procedural matters and in my capacity I oversee the secretariat. If there's anything that the staff would like to report to me, I'll take care of the problems. I actually take care of the day-to-day routine work of Cietac.

Cietac was only the second arbitral institution in the world to introduce specific online arbitration rules (the other being the American Arbitration Association). What was your motivation?
