  • The Executive Council approved 16 projects for funding under the Initial Science Program Round III (ISP III) based on recommendations from the IAI Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) and Directorate. This approval was subject to the Directorate negotiating budgets with Principal Investigators to match available funds and requesting further clarifications on two specific proposals by December 31, 1997.
  • The EC established a SAC Nominating Committee composed of four members: two EC Members (including the Committee Chair), one IAI Member Country Representative not on the EC, and one scientist involved with the IAI. This committee is tasked with coordinating nominations for SAC positions at CoP V in 1998.
  • The Finance and Administrative Policy Working Group was authorized to review the final document for research grant administration by January 1998. The review must ensure that Principal Investigators are responsible for equipment transfer costs to IAI member countries, that research data is available to other researchers, and that financial policies are included.
  • The EC requested a proposal from the Communications Task Force regarding future plans for the IAI Newsletter, including costs, staff, and content. Additionally, the Director and Newsletter Editor were tasked with implementing a six-month transition plan for its continued publication.
