REGLAMENTO DE LA CONFERENCIA DE LAS PARTES DEL INSTITUTO INTERAMERICANO PARA LA INVESTIGACIÓN DEL CAMBIO GLOBAL

The document outlines the operational framework for the IAI's Conference of the Parties, detailing the roles of participants, the organization of annual and extraordinary meetings, voting mechanisms, and the election processes for the Executive Director and advisory committees. It specifies requirements for quorums, the handling of agendas, and the procedures for amending both the internal regulations and the founding Agreement of the IAI.

• The Conference of the Parties typically holds one ordinary meeting per year, generally in June, with the venue determined by offers from member Parties based on rotation and geographic distribution.
• Plenary sessions require a quorum consisting of half of the IAI's active Parties. Parties are considered inactive if they have not participated in any of the three previous Conferences or designated a Permanent Representative within a three-year period.
• The IAI aims to make decisions by consensus; however, if consensus is not reached, decisions are generally made by a majority vote of the accredited Parties present, unless the founding Agreement or these rules specify otherwise.
• The election of members for the Scientific Advisory Committee and the Science and Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC) must ensure representation from various global change research disciplines and maintain equitable geographic and gender distribution.
• The Executive Director is elected by the Conference of the Parties and can be removed by the same body via a secret ballot requiring a two-thirds majority vote.
• Extraordinary Conferences may be held upon the request of one or more Parties, provided there is affirmative approval from two-thirds or more of the accredited Parties present.
