Report from the Implementation Committee for the Tripartite IAI Directorate

The Implementation Committee reports on the transition to a tripartite structure for the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI). The Integrated Operations and Finance Directorate in Montevideo, Uruguay, is largely operational following the ratification of its host country agreement on December 13, 2013. The Science-Policy Liaison Directorate in Buenos Aires, Argentina, has renovated office space, though staffing for the Director and Assistant Director positions has been delayed by administrative and diploma legalization issues. The establishment of the Science Development Directorate in São José dos Campos, Brazil, remains pending due to ongoing negotiations over the host country agreement, specifically regarding whether the agreement should cover the IAI as a whole or only the specific directorate.

• The Integrated Operations and Finance Directorate in Montevideo, Uruguay, is mostly operational after its host country agreement came into force on December 13, 2013, and the relocation of offices and families from Brazil was completed.
• The IAI encountered difficulties hiring local staff in Montevideo, though a local logistics assistant was hired in the interim and a joint advertisement for further positions is being issued by LATU and IAI.
• The Science-Policy Liaison Directorate in Buenos Aires, Argentina, has completed office renovations between December 10, 2013, and March 10, 2014, but faces staffing delays for the Director and Assistant Director roles.
• The implementation of the Science Development Directorate in São José dos Campos, Brazil, is stalled due to disagreements over the host country agreement's language, which the Implementation Committee argues focuses too narrowly on the directorate rather than the IAI as a whole.
• The IAI is taking steps to close its commercial registration in Brazil shortly after June, following a court decision in December that found the sequestration of IAI and its executive director's assets to be unjustified.
