Informe de la Dirección Ejecutiva del IAI

The IAI Executive Directorate report for May-August 2005 outlines the appointment of Dr. Holm Tiessen as Executive Director, the evaluation of 37 proposals for the Cooperative Research Networks (CRN II) program, and the planning of training institutes on climate vulnerability in Paraguay and climate-health in Jamaica. Administratively, the IAI approved new employee and project management manuals and initiated the process to become an observer of the UNFCCC. Financially, the report notes that as of June 30, 2005, the core budget received 99% of contributions, though several member countries still had outstanding balances.

• The IAI has appointed Dr. Holm Tiessen as the new Executive Director for a three-year term and hired Mrs. Ione Anderson as the new Programs Manager, who started on July 1, 2005.
• The IAI is pursuing observer status with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and intends to ensure representation at COPs through side events or stands.
• The evaluation process for the second round of the Cooperative Research Networks (CRN II) program has concluded, involving 37 final proposals that underwent a three-step evaluation including mail, panel, and SAC reviews.
• Two training institutes are planned for late 2005: one on vulnerability associated with weather and climate variability in Asunción, Paraguay (October 17-22), and another on climate and health in Kingston, Jamaica (November 7-18).
• The IAI is organizing a synthesis meeting in Ubatuba, Brazil, from November 27 to December 2, focused on bridging the gap between science and decision-makers by integrating lessons from 10 years of scientific projects.
• The IAI approved two key administrative documents in 2005: the Employee Manual on June 24 and the Project Management Manual on July 11.
• As of June 30, 2005, the IAI core budget had received 99% of contributions, though specific member countries like Argentina, Venezuela, and Paraguay showed significant outstanding balances in the provided table.
