Whereas the Sastric Advisory Council has proved to be a valuable resource in many GBC decisions on philosophical and practical matters;
Whereas the GBC Resolution 604 of 2002 establishing the Sastric Advisory Council (SAC) sets the upper limit of the number of its members at 12:
Procedure for Selecting and Endorsing SAC Members:
a. SAC core members will number between six and twelve.
b. The SAC core members should be mutually acceptable to both the GBC Body and SAC.
Whereas both the SAC and some GBC members feel that the SAC service can benefit from adding a few more members;
Whereas there should ideally be an odd number of SAC members to avoid split votes
RESOLVED:
GBC Resolution 604 of 2002 is hereby amended as follows:
Procedure for Selecting and Endorsing SAC Members:
a. There will be an odd number of SAC core members between seven and fifteen.
b. The SAC core members should be mutually acceptable to both the GBC Body and SAC. [unchanged]
