Secretariat are seconded government employees of member economies. 
 
SIPDIS 
 
Senior Posts 
------------ 
 
4.  As explained above, all professional staff members, including 
the Executive Director and Deputy Executive Director, are seconded 
from member economies and paid by their home governments. 
 
The other senior posts of the Chief Operating Officer and the 
Director of IT are engaged on local terms. 
 
Geographic Distribution Information 
----------------------------------- 
 
5.  The APEC Secretariat does not use any geographic distribution 
formula for employing locally hired (support) staff.  The 
nationalities of the support staff are provided in paragraph 2 
above.  Most local staff members are Singaporean with 5 foreign 
employees of APEC economies - 2 Filipinos, 1 Indonesian, 1 American 
and 1 Canadian. 
 
Hiring Data 
----------- 
 
6.  The APEC Secretariat is located in Singapore.  Only its support 
staff positions are open to general hiring, since professional staff 
members are seconded from member economies.  Support staff position 
openings are advertised to the general public using various modes, 
including the Straits Times in Singapore, APEC's website, and 
appropriate internet job search facility.  For the positions of 
managers/specialists, member economies are also approached to 
advertise the positions.  The APEC Secretariat hired an American 
Communications Specialist in 2005, a Filipino IT Portal Manager, and 
an Indonesian Assistant Accountant in 2007, and a Canadian Media 
Manager in 2008.

Contributions by Japan (US$1,552,541) for a special fund supporting 
trade and investment liberalization and facilitation projects; and 
by Australia (US$3,659,300), China (US$700,000) and Korea 
(US$600,000) for special technical cooperation projects (capacity 
building for developing economies). 
 
Further voluntary contributions in 2008-2010 and 2009-2010 have been 
announced by Australia and Russia respectively. 
 
Arrears 
------- 
 
8.  No U.S. arrears for 2007.  The United States owes its US$696,000 
member contribution for 2008 as of January 1, 2008.  APEC members 
are expected to pay in their assessed contributions within the first 
quarter of the year; the United States is therefore not considered 
to be in arrears. The Philippines is the only member economy in 
arrears.
