Proposed Selection Process for the IAI Director

The document outlines the proposed timeline and procedural steps for selecting a new Director for the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) between July 2001 and February 2002.

• The selection process for the IAI Director was scheduled to begin in July 2001 with the formation of a Selection Committee nominated by the Conference of Parties (CoP), followed by a vacancy announcement in August/September 2001 in publications such as The Economist, Nature, and Science.
• The evaluation timeline included a deadline for applications on October 19, 2001, a Selection Committee meeting in Havana, Cuba from November 26-29, 2001 to finalize a 'long list', and telephone interviews in December 2001 to determine a 'Short List'.
• The process concluded in February 2002 with the CoP electing a new Director by secret ballot in Brazil, necessitated by the termination of Dr. Rabuffetti’s contract at the end of February 2002.
