This briefing documents the resolutions passed during the Ninth Meeting of the Executive Council (EC) of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), held from June 14 to 15, 1999, in Ottawa, Canada. The meeting focused on administrative restructuring, budget approvals, funding commitments for scientific capacity and research networks, and the establishment of ethical guidelines.

• The Executive Council (EC) approved the core budget for the 1999/2000 fiscal year, specifically increasing the budgeted amount for the Director's Special Funds from US$ 22,000 to US$ 61,300.
• Financial commitments were announced for two specific programs: the National Science Foundation of the USA committed US$ 250,000 to US$ 300,000 for the first year of the Program to Expand Scientific Capacity in the Americas (PESCA), and the NOAA/Office of Global Programs announced a contribution of up to US$ 100,000 for the first year of the Cooperative Research Networks (CRN) program to support climate variability projects.
• The EC expressed serious concern regarding the failure of member countries to pay contributions to the IAI core budget and requested that the Conference of the Parties (CoP) urge governments to honor their voluntary contribution commitments.
• Administrative and organizational decisions included the approval of a new structure for the IAI Executive Directorate—requiring job descriptions for all staff and direct functional reporting for Project Managers—and the creation of a Training and Education Working Group for a two-year term.
