Aprobada Conferencia de las Partes (CoP) del IAI Sexta reunión Ottawa, Canadá 17-18 de junio de 1999

The sixth meeting of the IAI Conference of the Parties (CoP) focused on administrative governance, financial restructuring, and the approval of operational plans. Key outcomes included an amendment to the IAI Creation Agreement to modify the structure of voluntary contributions for operating expenses, the authorization for the Executive Directorate to manage donations from external scientific and technical organizations, and the approval of the 1999/2000 basic budget. The CoP also reviewed a feasibility study by the World Meteorological Organization for an El Niño center in Ecuador and designated Mexico as the host for the seventh CoP meeting in 2000.

• The CoP unanimously approved an amendment to Article XIII, Paragraph 1 of the IAI Creation Agreement to change how operating expenses—including salaries and support for the Executive Directorate, Scientific Advisory Committee, and Executive Council—are funded. The new terms specify that contributions will be voluntary, committed annually for three-year periods in multiples of US$ 1,000, with a minimum contribution of US$ 5,000.
• The Executive Directorate is now authorized to receive and administer donations from intergovernmental and non-governmental scientific and technical organizations to support the Institute's programmatic activities and Scientific Agenda.
• The CoP expressed concern regarding the impact of unpaid voluntary contributions on the basic budget and urged member countries to ensure their institutions are informed of the Institute's funding requirements and to make full, timely payments.
• The meeting included a presentation by Jim Bruce on a feasibility study conducted by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on behalf of the Government of Ecuador regarding the creation of an El Niño center in Ecuador.
• The CoP approved the Annual Program, the Basic Budget Request for the 1999/2000 fiscal year, and the Financial Statement and Auditor's Report for the 1997/1998 fiscal year.
