Resolutions
Resolutions document formal institutional decisions that require a durable administrative record.
Resolution format
A resolution should identify:
- Registry Code — format NQ²–RES–YYYY–NNN
- Title
- Date
- Authority
- Background
- Decision
- Effective Date
- Associated Projects
- Associated Rules
- Public / Internal Status
When a resolution is used
A resolution may be appropriate for significant approvals, appointments, changes of status, institutional declarations, amendments, closures, transfers, governance decisions or other matters requiring an explicit formal decision.
Integrity
A resolution code should only be issued when an actual decision has been made by an identified authority. Draft templates do not receive official resolution codes.
