Resolutions from the Recent ISC Meeting(October 17, 2007)

... ISC approves the 7/11 FAIR start version recommended by STI…

... ISC urges all interested partners to provide further resources in due time in order to realize the full version according to the Baseline Technical Report as soon as possible ....

... ISC approves the modified convention and the final act. ISC urges its members to finalize the necessary legal steps regarding these documents...

... From the FAIR Start Event (Nov. 7, 2007) until the incorporation of the FAIR GmbH, the ISC will continue its work and will apply its Rules of Procedure according to the 'Rules of Procedure for the (future) FAIR Council'.

... The ISC authorizes the ISC Chair to set up Search Committees for the two Managing Directors of the future FAIR GmbH. ISC members are asked to make proposals for the members of the Search Committees by November 10, 2007.
