This briefing outlines the actions and decisions made during the Fifth Meeting of the Executive Council (EC) of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), held on June 9-10, 1997. The meeting focused on administrative governance, financial planning for Phase II, and the establishment of various committees and task forces to support the institute's scientific mission.

• The Executive Council (EC) established a Nomination Committee for the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), consisting of two EC members (Patricia Ramirez of Costa Rica and Bob Halliday of Canada), one representative from a non-EC member country (Carlos Elgueta of Chile), one IAI scientist (Osvaldo Sala), and the IAI Director as ex-officio executive secretary.
• The EC approved the 1997/98 Basic Budget under 'Option 2' for submission to the Conference of Parties (CoP). This option increases member country quotas to match expenses, though the EC recommended that these contributions not be increased for the following three years, suggesting the Director use reserves to cover any expense increases during that time.
• Several strategic and operational items were approved by the EC to be elevated to the CoP for final approval, including a modified IAI Mission, a modified Scientific Agenda, the Phase II Program Strategy, a modified Indirect Costs Policy, and changes to the EC and CoP Regulations.
• The EC approved the creation of a joint working group with APN to study collaboration regarding the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
• The EC approved Panama as the host for the next Executive Council meeting scheduled for November 1997.
