Report of the Director to the 10th EC Meeting

This report provides an update on the activities of the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) from June 15 to November 8, 1999. It details institutional developments, the status of scientific programs including the Initial Science Program (ISP) and the Collaborative Research Network (CRN), capacity-building efforts such as the IAI/UM Summer Institute, and the financial status of voluntary contributions from member countries.

• The IAI has established formal agreements with national science agencies in Argentina and Venezuela to support global change research. In Argentina, a complementary agreement was signed to identify cofunded projects and administrative procedures. In Venezuela, a Framework Agreement was signed with the National Council for Science and Technology (CONICIT) to develop joint support mechanisms.
• The IAI Directorate underwent reorganization, which included the hiring of Eduardo Banús as the CRN Manager on August 25, 1999. The manager's responsibilities include administering grants, tracking documentation, and ensuring communication between CRN participants, the Scientific Officer, the IAI Director, the Executive Council, and the Scientific Advisory Committee.
• The Initial Science Program (ISP) has supported various research projects since 1994, resulting in a list of scientific and technical publications. The report notes that these publications demonstrate the IAI's effectiveness in supporting global change research in the Americas, and the institute now aims to translate this scientific information into benefits for policy and decision-makers.
