# Board resolution

A formal decision of the ICANN Board, adopted by vote and published with its reasons. Resolutions approve policies, contracts, budgets and new programs. A community policy recommendation takes effect only once the Board adopts it in a resolution, which can make it binding on registries and registrars.
