The BGC recommended that within ten business days staff prepare detailed notes of each meeting that are to be used for internal purposes and only for Board access. Within two business days after each committee meeting, staff shall deliver to the committee (and make available to the full Board) a preliminary report, which shall include the general topics discussed during the meeting, the actions taken and the actions to be taken for future meetings. That preliminary report, once approved by the committee, shall become the minutes of the meeting, and shall be posted promptly on the committee's page on the ICANN website.

Whereas, the Board agrees with the BGC's recommendation.
