The document is an action list from the Seventeenth Meeting of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) Executive Council (EC), held on June 02-03, 2003, in Boulder, USA. It details administrative decisions, the formation of committees, and recommendations to be forwarded to the Conference of Parties (CoP).

• The Executive Council (EC) requested the Financial and Administrative Working Group (FAWG) to investigate a 'debt swap' proposal from Colombia, supported by Costa Rica, which would allow countries in arrears to cancel outstanding contributions by allocating funds toward local activities coordinated with the IAI.
• The EC approved several recommendations for the CoP-X, including reconfirming that 'basic support' funds cover day-to-day operations (personnel, travel, and other costs) excluding salaries, and maintaining that travel expenses for country representatives to EC and CoP meetings remain the responsibility of the member countries, unless a separate trust fund is established.
• The Financial and Administrative Working Group (FAWG) was renamed the Financial and Administrative Committee (FAC). Membership is open to all IAI member countries, with Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and the USA volunteering as initial members.
• The EC endorsed a proposal from Argentina and the USA to delay the adoption of an 8% increase in contribution levels until the following year.
• The EC approved the composition of a Nominating Committee to select a member for the IAI Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), consisting of Michel Bédland (Canada), Gilberto Camara (Brazil), Adrian Fernandez (México), Jim Buizer (local scientist), and the IAI Scientific Officer.
