Plan de Arranque dha Introducci6én

The document details the interim governance and financial arrangements for the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) during its transition period. It specifies the roles of the Conference of the Parties (CoP), the Executive Council (EC), and the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC), while outlining the temporary responsibilities of the Director pro tempore. Key focus areas include the selection process for the permanent Director, the establishment of financial policies by Deloitte and Touche, and the management of core and program funds through the US National Science Foundation until a formal IAI account is created. The plan aims for the IAI to be fully operational by autumn 1995, including the signing of a Host Country Agreement with Brazil.

• The Executive Council (EC) consists of nine member countries: Argentina, Brasil, Canada, Estados Unidos, Panama, Costa Rica, México, Uruguay, and Chile.
• The Executive Council is tasked with presenting policy suggestions to the second Conference of the Parties on seven specific areas: the Director's selection process, start-up planning grants, the annual program, personnel and finance policies, budgetary matters, information policy, and interim responsibilities of the Director pro tempore and EC President.
• Until a formal IAI budget is established at the second CoP, the US National Science Foundation has created a trust account for member country contributions to the Core Budget.
• The US government has agreed to support the Office of the Executive Scientist (OES) and the IAI Secretariat until formal IAI bodies can take over their functions.
• Personnel and financial policies are being developed by Deloitte and Touche based on the IAI White Paper on Financial Matters.
• The Director pro tempore is suggested to have signatory authority to sign the Host Country Agreement with the government of Brazil, as the elected Director will not yet be in office.
• The proposed timeline for initial activities includes the approval of personnel and financial policies by the EC in June/July 1995, a Regional Science Meeting in August 1995, and the second SAC meeting in September 1995.
