Informe del Comité Ad-Hoc para la Newsletter 14_ECXX/DID/Spanish/20.abril.2005
Summary
This report from the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) details the activities and strategic adjustments of the IAI Newsletter. It focuses on reducing publication frequency to manage costs and staff workload, while proposing improvements to content and the composition of the Editorial Panel.
Key insights
- The IAI Newsletter, first published in December 1992, serves as a primary dissemination tool for the institution's programmatic and institutional activities, as well as scientific results from its Scientific Agenda.
- Due to unsustainable economic conditions and rising costs, the IAI Executive Direction reduced the newsletter's publication frequency from four (quarterly) to three (four-monthly) issues per year starting in 2004.
- Reducing the publication frequency was intended to lower costs and alleviate the workload of IAI's limited staff, who have multiple other responsibilities.
- The projected budget for the 2005–2006 period is US$ 45,067 for four issues, compared to US$ 33,977 if the frequency is maintained at three issues.
- The report recommends improving the newsletter's content by including IAI Training Institutes, project updates, and global change activities in member countries, supported by a practical annual planning process.
- The report proposes modifying the Editorial Panel's composition by replacing one representative from the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) with a representative from the Conference of the Parties (CoP).
