Elections of members of the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC)

The document details the governance rules and current composition of the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) and presents a list of nominees for three vacancies to be filled during the June 1998 Conference of the Parties meeting in Arlington, USA. It specifies that the SAC is the principal scientific advisory organ of the Institute, consisting of ten members serving three-year terms. For the upcoming election, the SAC has recommended candidates across three specific areas of expertise: Economic Impacts of Global Environmental Change, Oceanography, and Integrated Assessment of Global Change & Training and Education.

• The Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) is the primary scientific advisory body of the Institute, consisting of ten members elected by the Conference of the Parties for three-year terms, with a maximum of two terms allowed.
• The composition of the SAC is determined by specific nomination sources: six members are nominated by the Parties, three by the SAC itself, and one by the Institute's Associates.
• For the June 4-5, 1998 meeting, the Conference of the Parties must elect or re-elect three scientists for vacancies nominated by the SAC in three specific expertise areas: Economic Impacts of Global Environmental Change (John Robinson, Robert Evenson, Alejandro Nadai), Oceanography (Jose Mulbert, Renato Quifionez, Otis Brown), and Integrated Assessment of Global Change & Training and Education (Emilio La Rovere, Luiz Bevilacqua).
