Informe del Presidente del Consejo Ejecutivo (CE) del Instituto Interamericano para la Investigación del Cambio Global (IAI)

The report details the Chair's actions regarding the recovery of funds from CATHALAC, the transition of Executive Directors, the evaluation of CPTEC/INPE as an affiliated institution, and administrative updates on staff salaries in Brazil and voting procedures for the Scientific Advisory Committee.

• The IAI has been unable to recover funds from the Cooperative Research Networks (CRN) project 038 from the Tropical Water Centre for Latin America and the Caribbean (CATHALAC), despite informal agreements and repeated communication attempts by the Interim Executive Director and Financial Officer.
• The IAI underwent a leadership transition following the resignation of Executive Director Dr. Gustavo Necco on December 31, 2004, with Dr. John Stewart appointed as Interim Executive Director in November 2004.
• The Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) recommended the approval of the Center for Weather Forecasting and Climate Studies (CPTEC) / National Institute for Space Research (INPE) as an Affiliated Institution, specifically for a program on Climate Variability in the Americas and a joint 2-year internship program.
• The IAI addressed local staff salary issues in Brazil by sending a formal letter on October 26 to the Brazilian Minister of Science and Technology, Eduardo Campos, with contributions from delegates from Canada and Cuba.
• The Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures proposed changes to the voting process for the Scientific Advisory Committee to prevent excessive election rounds when there are many candidates.
