The document outlines the Standing Rules of the Executive Council of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research, detailing the governance, membership, meeting procedures, and voting mechanisms of the Council as the executive organ of the Conference of the Parties.

• The Executive Council serves as the executive organ of the Conference of the Parties and consists of no more than nine Parties elected for two-year terms based on partial rotation and equitable geographical distribution.
• The Executive Council holds two regular meetings annually, with the possibility of special meetings. Meeting sites are chosen based on rotation and geographical distribution, with the Directorate headquarters serving as the default site if no other offer is accepted.
• The Director is responsible for drafting the provisional agenda for regular meetings, which must be sent to Parties with supporting documentation at least 30 days before the meeting. The agenda includes reports on the Institute's activities and financial position, proposals from the Director, and items requested by the Conference of the Parties.
• The Council's Bureau comprises a Chair, Vice Chair, Rapporteur, and the Director of the Institute acting as Secretary. These positions are elected individually, and a Party that replaces its representative in one of these roles loses that position.
• The Executive Council can establish various Committees, including a Credentials Committee consisting of three Parties with two-year terms, as well as ad-hoc Committees. All Parties may participate in Committees, but only officially registered delegations count toward the quorum.
• Voting is conducted by a show of hands, roll call, secret ballot, voice, or correspondence, with each Party having one vote. Most decisions require a majority vote of the Parties in attendance, though reconsidering a decision requires a two-thirds vote.
• Official documentation has specific language requirements: working documents must be in at least two official languages of the Institute, while decisions, recommendations, agreements, minutes, and reports must be distributed in all four official languages.
