8. 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 duetime in order to realize the full version according to the BaselineTechnical Report as soon as possible....... ISC approves the modified convention and the final act. ISC urges itsmembers to finalize the necessary legal steps regarding thesedocuments...... From the FAIR Start Event (Nov. 7, 2007) until the incorporation of theFAIR GmbH, the ISC will continue its work and will apply its Rules ofProcedure according to the 'Rules of Procedure for the (future) FAIRCouncil'.... The ISC authorizes the ISC Chair to set up Search Committees for thetwo Managing Directors of the future FAIR GmbH. ISC members areasked to make proposals for the members of the Search Committees byNovember 10, 2007.
