Functions of the EC Bureau

This briefing outlines the proposed functions and central axes of the Executive Council (EC) Bureau for the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), as refined by the 2nd EC Vice Chair and the Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures.

• The proposed functions of the EC Bureau are organized around three central axes: scientific and technological policy (focused on research and capacity building to achieve the IAI mission), financial policy (covering budgets, fund movement, and fundraising to ensure IAI's existence), and institutional development (concerning the Director's management, structure, and the IAI's visibility).
• The EC Bureau is tasked with several specific operational functions, including elevating considerations on policy and management to the Executive Council, annually approving and evaluating the IAI Director's Performance Plan, approving the Executive Council Chair's reports, and informing the Executive Council about the work of Working Groups.
• Implementation of these functions involves distributing the oversight of the three central axes among Bureau members based on their composition, interests, and individual capacities.
