The Board is responsible, 'inter alia', for approving safeguards agreements and for approving publication of IAEA safety standards. The Board appoints the IAEA Director General, subject to approval by the General Conference, and makes recommendations to the General Conference on the IAEA's program and budget.
The Board generally meets five times per year: in March and June, twice in September (before and after the General Conference) and in November.[2]
