This briefing document records the action list and decisions made during the Eleventh Meeting of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) Executive Council (EC), held on July 25-26, 2000, in Merida, Mexico. The meeting focused on administrative approvals, budget requests, the appointment of scientific personnel, and strategic collaborations to increase the institute's visibility and operational stability.

• The Executive Council (EC) approved the IAI Core Budget Request for the 2000/2001 year and Voluntary Contributions from member countries for the period 2000/2003, which were to be forwarded to the Conference of the Parties VII for approval.
• The EC expressed concern regarding unpaid contributions from member countries and requested a detailed analysis of how an increased deficit in the core budget could critically impact the functioning of the Institution. The IAI Director and EC Chair were tasked with contacting these countries to encourage settlement of debts.
• To increase regional visibility, the EC recommended that the IAI participate in major international environmental events, specifically the 2001 Summit of the Americas in Quebec, Canada, and the 2002 Rio Plus 10 follow-up to the 1992 Earth Summit.
• The EC endorsed a recommendation for the IAI to collaborate more closely with the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), particularly through the development of workshops in the Americas due to shared interests in climate research.
• The EC approved the first draft of the Terms of Reference (TOR) for an External Evaluation of the IAI, suggesting the creation of a working group, the consideration of financial resources, and the potential use of a specialized external consultant.
