The Board of Governors in a Resolution adopted on September 18 requested that the Executive Board reach agreement on a new quota formula, starting discussions soon after the Annual Meetings in Singapore. According to the Resolution, this work should be completed by the Annual Meetings in 2007, and no later than the IMFC Meeting in the Spring of 2008. The Resolution states that the new formula should provide a simpler and more transparent means of capturing members' relative positions in the world economy. This new formula would provide the basis for a second round of ad hoc quota increases, as part of the program of quota and voice reform to be completed by the Annual Meetings in 2007, and no later than by the Annual Meetings of 2008. This paper explores key issues related to a new quota formula as background for an informal Board seminar. This seminar is the first opportunity for the Board to discuss the new formula since the adoption of the Resolution. The paper first reviews the broad considerations and principles that should guide the design of a new quota formula, taking as a starting point the roles of quotas in the Fund. The paper also considers more specific issues in that light, such as the selection of variables and possible functional forms for the new formula. In examining these issues, the paper draws on the extensive discussion of the quota formulas in recent years, taking up questions raised both within the Board and in other fora.

This dissertation by Manne Andersson focuses on the structured management of patients with suspected acute appendicitis. It aims to construct and validate a diagnostic appendicitis score, known as the Appendicitis Inflammatory Response (AIR) score, and to evaluate the inclusion of new inflammatory markers. The work explores the impact of implementing a structured management algorithm and compares routine diagnostic imaging with selective imaging strategies in patients with ambiguous signs of appendicitis. The research findings suggest that the AIR score effectively categorizes patients into high or low risk of appendicitis with high accuracy, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing unnecessary hospital admissions and imaging. The intended audience includes medical professionals, researchers, and students in the field of clinical medicine and surgery.
