Action list

The action list from the 28th Meeting of the IAI Executive Council (21 May 2009) details efforts to strengthen member country relations. Key actions include creating a bilateral meeting calendar, drafting a definition of representative roles, and revising country information sheets. Member countries including Costa Rica, Colombia, the USA, and Venezuela offered specific assistance regarding membership outreach, institutional dissemination, and legal expertise for the Host Country Agreement.

• The IAI Executive Council (EC) established several initiatives to improve member country engagement, including a commitment to assist the IAI Directorate with strategies for strengthening relations, the creation of a bilateral meeting calendar via a Twiki site to reach less involved representatives, and the development of a document defining the roles and responsibilities of IAI representatives, which the representative of Costa Rica will begin drafting.
• Specific member countries offered support for IAI outreach: Costa Rica offered to approach Guatemala regarding membership and disseminate activities within the Central America Integration System (SICA); Colombia proposed disseminating IAI information to non-environmental institutions; and the USA offered assistance in contacting uninvolved member countries through its Department of State and Science Agencies, suggesting joint demarches from Foreign Relations Offices.
• The EC and IAI Director identified several administrative and communication tasks, including revising "country information sheets" to be referenced regionally and thematically, requesting 200-word articles for the IAI Newsletter by June 25 regarding the exchange of information, and reviewing the Host Country Agreement, for which Venezuela offered to seek a legal expert from its Ministries.
