Report of the IAI Executive Council

The Report of the IAI Executive Council, prepared for its fifty-first meeting on 22 June 2021, outlines the council's activities during the 2020-2021 intersessional period. The report focuses on the review of financial documents, the development of new institutional policies regarding whistleblowing and gender, and the performance evaluation of the Executive Director.

• The Executive Council (EC) recommends that the 29th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (CoP-29) approve several financial documents, including the Auditors report, the Financial status report, the IAI Core Budget and Country Contributions for FY 2021-2022, and the Preliminary budget request for 2022-2024.
• The EC recommends the adoption of a new Whistleblower policy by CoP-29. This policy was drafted by IAI Directorate staff and reviewed by the legal department of the National Science Foundation, which found the policy to be satisfactory.
• The EC recommends that CoP-29 adopt a Gender Policy on IAI Projects and Activities. The policy was developed with advice from the EC, the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), and the Science-Policy Advisory Committee (SPAC), and incorporated knowledge from scientific associations, science funding agencies, inter-governmental organizations, and major universities.
• In response to Decision XXVIII/4, the IAI Executive Director was required to submit a Performance Appraisal Report for the 2020-2021 intersessional period, the results of which the Chair will report orally to Parties at CoP-29.
• Due to the 2019 novel coronavirus (Covid-19), the physical office of the IAI Directorate was closed, and staff transitioned to working from home.
