Parties' Nominations for SPAC membership

The Science-Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC) is seeking nominations for a member vacancy to be filled at the June 2017 Conference of the Parties in Bogotá, Colombia, following the expiration of Maria Netto's term in June 2016. The committee emphasizes that members should be selected based on their expertise in science-policy integration and global change rather than as national representatives, while also seeking geographic, gender, and ethnic balance.

• The SPAC is seeking a nominee to fill a vacancy at the June 2017 Conference of the Parties in Bogotá, Colombia, as Maria Netto's term expires in June 2016.
• Ideal candidates for SPAC membership must possess expertise in science-based decision making, the ability to communicate scientific information for policy, experience with global and climate change, and cultural awareness of the Americas.
• The current SPAC membership by country of residence consists of two members from Argentina, two from Canada, one each from Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Uruguay, and the USA.
