Selection of representatives
for the four vacant board seats
OECD Country Government:
One government was recommended by the OECD constituency
at the Partners Meeting in Noordwijk: Norway.
Decision: Norway, represented by State Secretary
Sigrun Mogedal.
Developing Country Government:
The developing country constituency at the Partners
meeting invited nominations to be submitted to the GAVI Secretariat
by 5 December
Four country nominations were received Ghana,
Kenya, Mali, and Tanzania
Decision: Mali, represented by the Minister of Health,
Fatoumata Nafo-Traore.
Developing Country Industry:
Two developing country industry representatives were
nominated by the constituency at the Partners Meeting: Instituto
Butantan of Brazil and Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology
(CIGB) of Cuba
Decision: CIGB, represented by Director-General Luis
Saturnino Herrera Martinez.
Technical Health Institutes:
Two technical health institutes were nominated by
the constituency at the Partners Meeting: the United States
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the International Vaccine
Institute (IVI) in South Korea.
Decision: CDC, represented by Deputy Director David

Selection of representatives
for seats that will become vacant in 2001 and 2002.
There was a suggestion that Board nominations for
seats becoming vacant in January 2002 be delayed until the next
Partners Meeting in November 2002. However, it was felt that
this would disrupt the gradual transition of Board members, and
would impede the goal of greater representation of the constituencies.
Each constituency is therefore required to develop plans in 2001
to identify appropriate candidates for seats that will become vacant
in January 2002.
