Report of the CBC/CDC Retreat, the Hague, 2-3 September 2000: Towards a Federation of Centers

Documents related to a retreat held by the Center Board Chairs (CBC) and Center Directors Committee (CDC) at ISNAR. The Hague, September 2-3, 2000 to consider organizational, structural and management issues arising from the new vision of the CGIAR. Included are a report of the retreat with two attachments: a draft code of conduct, and a full response from the centers to TAC's seven planks. There is also a further document not mentioned in the table of contents, beginning at page 40. It is a diagnosis of the motivations for change. The document identifies objectives for change, examines ten possible organizational models, and discusses those considered relevant to what the centers do and with whom.The introduction describes this package as work in progress, not representing a full consensus among the centers. The report does, however, recommend consideration of a Federation of Centers, to be composed of Centers, a Federation Office, and a small administrative staff. Some of the functions proposed for the Federation would be transferred from the organs of the CGIAR, not only from the centers. The report reflects agreement among the center board chairs and directors on a schedule of next steps leading to the first meeting of the board of the Federation by the end of 2001.This package was circulated broadly and submitted to TAC 79 and the Synthesis Group for its meeting in Sonning, UK in early October 2000. It was a background document for the report of the Synthesis Group to CGIAR ICW 2000

CGIAR Center Statements on Genetic Resources, Intellectual Property Rights, and Biotechnology

A collection of statements presenting the position of CGIAR centers on genetic resources, intellectual property rights, and biotechnology. Most of these were approved by the CGIAR at its Mid-Term meeting in May 1998, and an additional three at International Centers Week in October 1998. The document was published in May 1999 and circulated at the Mid-Term Meeting in that month.The documents included are as follows (titles abbreviated):-CGIAR Centers' Position Statement on Genetic Resources, Intellectual Property Rights, and Biotechnology.-The CGIAR's Ethical Principles Related to Genetic Resources.-Agreement between [center] and FAO Placing Collection of Plant Germplasm under the Auspices of FAO.-Guidelines for the Designation of Accessions under the FAO Agreements.-Germplasm Acquisition Agreement for Material Intended for Designation-Transfer of Designated Germplasm: Important Notice-Standard Order Form-Shipment Notice-Material Transfer Agreement (MTA)-Second Joint Statement of FAO and CGIAR Centers-Guiding Principles for the CGIAR Centers on Intellectual Property and Genetic Resources-Principles Involving CGIAR Center Interaction with the Private Sector and Others-CGIAR Centers' Position Statement on Biotechnology.These matters were discussed at numerous CGIAR, CBC, CDC, GRPC, and TAC meetings

Foreword

On October 17 and 18, 1997, the Utah Law Review held its annual Symposium at the University of Utah College of Law. The topic of our 1997 Symposium dealt with two of the oldest institutions known to humankind: family and government. Specifically, this year\u27s Symposium, Governance and the Modern Family, explored the complex and controversial interaction between these two institutions as that interaction has evolved throughout modem society. Six family law professors and a professor of family studies generously accepted our invitation to participate in the Symposium. The Utah Law Review is truly privileged to have been able to assemble such a group of nationally renowned scholars. Their work, both at the Symposium and in the pages that follow, attests to their ability in this field. The 1997-98 Board of Editors wishes to extend its heartfelt appreciation to these participants

Barriers to Implementing the International Integrated Reporting Framework: A Contemporary Academic Perspective

Purpose: This paper is motivated by the International Integrated Reporting Council’s (IIRC) call for feedback from all stakeholders with knowledge of the International Integrated Reporting Framework , and specifically of the enablers, incentives and barriers to its implementation. The paper synthesises insights from contemporary accounting research into integrated reporting (IR) as a general concept, and integrated reporting as espoused by the IIRC in the (IIRC, 2013). We specifically focus on possible barriers and emphasise the specific issues we feel could be rectified to advance the , along with the areas that may potentially hinder wider adoption and implementation. Design/methodology/approach: The paper draws upon and synthesises academic analysis and insights provided in the IR and academic literature as well as various directives, policy and framework pronouncements. Findings: The flexibility and lack of prescription concerning actual disclosures and metrics in the could allow it to be used for compliance, regardless of the other benefits lauded by the IIRC. Thus we see forces, both external and internal, driving adoption, with one prominent example being the European Union Directive on non-financial reporting. Because of the different ways in which IR is understood and enacted, there are numerous theoretical and empirical challenges for academics. Our paper highlights potential areas for further robust academic research, and the need to contribute to policy and practice. Research limitations/implications: The paper provides the IIRC, academics, regulators and reporting organisations with insights into current practice and the framework. We highlight the need for further development and evidence to help inform improvements both from a policy and a practice perspective. A key limitation of our work is that we draw upon a synthesis of the existing literature which is still in an early stage of development. Originality/value: The paper provides the IIRC with several insights into the current , and specifically with the enablers, incentives and barriers to its implementation. Also, it provides academic researchers with a number of important observations and an agenda upon which they can build their future research
