Selection Process for IAI Director in 1995

The document details the 1995 selection process for the IAI Director, managed by a Selection Committee appointed by the Executive Council (EC). The process involved a multi-stage filtering system: an initial review of nominations based on a standard form and specific ranking criteria, telephone interviews to create a long-list, and formal presentations by a short-listed group of candidates. The Selection Committee then recommended the most qualified candidates to the Conference of the Parties (CoP), which conducted the final election via secret ballot.

• The Selection Committee evaluated candidates based on seven specific criteria: management and scientific research administration experience, academic qualifications, fund-raising experience for scientific research, experience with scientific/policy-making/donor communities, language skills in English and Portuguese, French or Spanish, potential aptitude, and an overall rating.
• The selection process progressed through several distinct phases: an initial review and ranking, telephone interviews to establish a long-list, and a final interview stage where short-listed candidates gave 20-minute presentations on their vision and a long-range plan for the IAI.
• The final appointment of the IAI Director was determined by the Conference of the Parties (CoP) through a secret ballot, following the submission of the Selection Committee's recommendations and reports.
