Reglamento de la Conferencia de las Partes del Instituto Interamericano para la Investigación del Cambio Global

The document outlines the operational framework for the IAI's Conference of the Parties, detailing the roles of participants, the structure of sessions, and the processes for electing the Executive Director and members of the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) and the Science and Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC). It specifies that the CoP generally meets annually, operates primarily by consensus, and requires a quorum of half of the active Parties for plenary sessions. The rules also cover the management of agendas, the appointment of observers, and the procedures for amending both the internal regulations and the Agreement for the Creation of the IAI.

• The Conference of the Parties (CoP) typically holds one ordinary meeting per year, generally in June, with the venue determined by offers from Parties based on rotation and geographic distribution.
• Plenary sessions require a quorum consisting of half of the active Parties of the IAI. Parties are considered inactive if they have not participated in any of the three previous CoPs nor designated a permanent representative for three years.
• The CoP aims to make decisions by consensus; however, if consensus is not reached, a vote may be requested. Most votes are decided by a simple majority of accredited Parties present, unless otherwise specified.
• The election of the Executive Director is conducted via secret ballot, and the CoP has the exclusive authority to remove the Director, which requires a two-thirds majority vote.
• Elections for the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) and the Science and Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC) must ensure equitable geographic and gender distribution, as well as representation from various disciplines related to global change research.
