COMMITTEE ON ADMINISTRATIVE Original: English/Spanish

AND BUDGETARY AFFAIRS

PARTICIPATION OF MEMBER STATES

IN THE MEDICAL BENEFITS PLAN

(Agreed by the Committee at its meeting held on February 17, 2026, and submitted to the Permanent Council for its consideration) In compliance with the mandate of the General Assembly set forth in the resolution “ProgramBudget of the Organization for 2026,” section III. operative paragraph 2.d, which states: “To instruct the Permanent Council, through the CAAP, to consider, during the first quarter of 2026, legally viable alternatives presented by the General Secretariat in document CP/CAAP-4090/25 to enable member states to participate in the administration, planning, and policy formulation mechanisms of the medical benefits plan.” The Committee, having considered the options presented, decided on a combined mechanism and recommends that the Permanent Council adopt it, as set forth below:

1. Observer Status in the JCIM: Member States would be invited to designate a representative and three alternates to participate in JCIM meetings as permanent observers. This would provide a structured space for engagement, subject to the signing of a confidentiality agreement. Each regional group will designate a member. The member names should be submitted to the CAAP for decision.

2. Guest Attendance at Selected Medical Benefits Trust Fund Meetings (MBTF): The Member State representative on the JCIM would be invited to attend specific meetings of the MBTF, particularly those involving investment performance or consultant presentations. This participation would be informational only and would not entail fiduciary duties.
