Merge into International Atomic Energy Agency edit
This article has a tag saying it may not be significant enough to survive on its own and may be merged for deleted. I vote for merging into the International Atomic Energy Agency article. NPguy (talk) 09:24, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
Number of members, Hungary and Costa Rica edit
The IAEA Statute does not say that there has to be 35 Board members, and the IAEA Board's own website only lists 33 countries. The other sources recently (8 October) added to this article do not mention either Costa Rica or Hungary (recently added to this list to make the number up to 35). By all means add them again if there is a source for them, but the most reliable source (the IAEA Board) lists 35 members. (There used to be 35 a year or two ago, but the Article VI of the Statute does not say that the number always has to be the same from year to year.) Richard75 (talk) 22:25, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
- The IAEA goofed on its web page by listing only 33 countries. It's easy to do the math. There are currently 13 designated members (see reference 3) so there must be 35 overall (13 designated members + 22 elected members = 35 total members). So two of them are missing from the IAEA's main page on the Board. One of them (Hungary) is listed in reference 4. I found the other (Costa Rica) on a non-public web site, but have not found it on any publicly available site. The best I can offer from publicly available information is that the missing country must be from Latin America, since that region has five elected Board members.

- The IAEA web site now lists Hungary and Costa Rica as Board Members. NPguy (talk) 00:21, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
