TENTH MEETING OF THE IAI CONFERENCE OF THE PARTIES (COP)

The 10th meeting of the IAI Conference of the Parties (CoP), held June 3-5, 2003, in Boulder, USA, resulted in eleven resolutions. Key actions included the approval of the 2003/2004 Core Budget Request, Country Contributions, and Annual Program, as well as the 2001-2002 Financial Statements. The CoP established an Ad Hoc Committee on Relations with Member States to improve financial and participation interactions, defined 'basic support' for operational funds, and approved the modified Scientific Agenda. Administrative decisions included postponing a SAC member election and agreeing to review the frequency of future meetings.

• The CoP approved several financial and operational documents for the 2003/2004 period, including the Core Budget Request as modified by EC-XVII, the level of Country Contributions as recommended by EC-XVII, and a modified Annual Program presented by the IAI Director. Additionally, the CoP approved the IAI Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report for the 2001-2002 Fiscal Year.
• The CoP established an 'Ad Hoc Committee on Relations with Member States' to assist the Director in identifying policy-level contacts in Member States, advising on the most effective ways to approach these states regarding financial and participation issues, and providing direct support in these interactions. The committee is to be selected by the EC Bureau and include one member each from the CoP, the EC, the SAC, and scientific participants in IAI programs.
• The CoP defined 'basic support' as funds for day-to-day IAI operations, excluding salaries and associated benefits, though the listed components of these funds include personnel (staff salaries and associated benefits), staff travel, the Director’s Special Fund, and other costs such as capital equipment and support for EC working groups and scientific meeting participants.
• The CoP adopted several administrative and strategic decisions: it postponed the election of a SAC member until the next Conference, approved the Scientific Agenda as modified by EC-XVII, and approved open membership for the Standing Committee on Rules. It also suggested a joint meeting of the SAC and EC to discuss Member Country priorities and the Scientific Agenda, and agreed to consider changing the frequency of meetings at the next session following an analysis by the Ad Hoc Committee on Relations with Member States and the Rules Committee.
