Fourth GAVI Board Meeting, Noordwijk, The Netherlands, 19 November 2000

‘In-camera’ session

During the members-only ‘in-camera’ session, the Board:

(1) Noted that the procedures on the turnover of Board members, as outlined in the GAVI Guiding Principles document, are ambiguous. The Board emphasized that selection of new members is a consultative process based on nominations coming from the constituencies.

(2) Urged the Executive Secretary to consider extending his contract with the GAVI Secretariat beyond its current ending date of 30 June 2001. Considering that the GAVI Board Chair will change as of 1 July 2001, Dr Brundtland and Ms Carol Bellamy – the respective current and future Board Chairs – will confer on the details and time-frame of the contract extension.
