Adenda 1_Documento 13 CE-XVII & CoP-X

This briefing document from the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) proposes renaming the Financial and Administrative Working Group (FAWG) to the Ad Hoc Financial and Administrative Committee (FAC) and outlines its revised mandate and operational procedures.

• Following discussions in Sao José dos Campos on March 19-20, 2003, it was recommended that the mandate of the Financial and Administrative Working Group (FAWG), originally approved in Panama on July 18, 2001, be modified to encourage greater participation from member countries and avoid automatic membership renewal.
• In accordance with Article V of the IAI Agreement, which specifies that committees should be 'ad-hoc', the FAWG proposed changing its name to the Ad Hoc Financial and Administrative Committee (FAC).
• The mandate of the Ad Hoc Financial and Administrative Committee (FAC) is to act on behalf of the Executive Council regarding the planning, preparation, and implementation of financial, administrative, and project management matters for the IAI. Specific responsibilities include approving staff salaries and benefits, recommending changes to member country contributions, reviewing financial statements and cash flows against the Basic Budget, and approving changes to administrative and financial manuals.
• The FAC membership is open to all IAI member countries for a two-year term, with the IAI Financial Officer serving as an ex-officio member. The committee's mandate and membership are subject to review every two years, and the committee must report to the Executive Council at every meeting.
