Dos instrumentos, aplicados con paciencia.
Cooperation is not an announcement; it is a habit. The Foundation operates programs and produces research, and it convenes the people whose decisions determine whether that research matters.
Working papers, baseline studies and short briefs on the questions that decide whether capital, goods and people move between the two countries. Every publication appears in English and Spanish, with named authorship and a data appendix.
Closed-door sessions and public forums pairing counterparts across business, civic, academic and policy lines — in Washington, in Caracas, and in the cities that trade with both.
Five thematic groups, each with binational co-chairs, meeting on a published cadence and reporting to the board once a year.
Each group is co-chaired by one member from each country, staffed by the Foundation, and charged with producing one publication and one convening per year.
Investment conditions, contract enforcement, and the sequencing questions that determine whether capital returns.
Co-chairs to be confirmedInputs, logistics and phytosanitary standards — the least glamorous corridor and often the fastest to open.
Co-chairs to be confirmedDispute resolution, transparency practice and the administrative capacity that agreements depend on.
Co-chairs to be confirmedCredential recognition, university partnerships, and the return of technical talent to both labor markets.
Co-chairs to be confirmedPorts, customs, air links and the documentary friction that quietly prices out small exporters.
Co-chairs to be confirmedMembers may petition the board to open a group. A petition needs two sponsors — one from each country.

Seating of the binational board, adoption of the founding statement, release of the first research agenda.
Closed session under the convening rule; published note to follow within thirty days.
Business and civic leaders from both countries; agenda published in advance.
Ports, customs and air links, with exporters at the table rather than in the audience.
Held outside both countries by design, with universities from both as conveners.
The agenda is public. The conversation is candid. That is the whole method.
Organizations working on either side of the corridor are invited to propose sessions, co-author research, or host a working group meeting.
