Summary
The IAI Executive Council established several initiatives to strengthen member country relations, including the creation of a bilateral meeting calendar via Twiki and the development of a document defining the roles and responsibilities of IAI representatives. The Council also accepted proposals from Costa Rica to promote IAI activities within the Central American Integration System (SICA) and from Colombia to expand IAI outreach beyond environmental institutions. Additionally, the United States offered assistance in engaging less active member countries through its State Department and scientific agencies.
Key insights
- The Executive Council (CE) committed to supporting the Executive Directorate in identifying strategies to strengthen relationships with member countries, which includes reviewing 'country information sheets' to determine their utility and thematic relevance.
- To engage member countries that are less involved with the IAI, the CE decided to use a Twiki site to coordinate a calendar of bilateral meetings.
- Costa Rica offered to communicate regarding its IAI membership and to promote IAI activities within the Central American Integration System (SICA).
- The United States offered to help the IAI contact less involved member countries via the Department of State and its scientific agencies, suggesting that foreign relations offices issue 'joint demarches' to encourage active participation.
- The CE decided to draft a document defining the expected roles, responsibilities, and activities of IAI representatives, with the representative from Costa Rica tasked with the initial outline.
