Tasking is to be determined by resolution from the directors' board.

My comment:

The original sentence is a particularly awkward example of the worst kind of 'bureaucracy slang'.
Hence the foremost goal for an interpreter to achieve is to add a spark of intuition in order to render it sensible.

The key action is the *determination* of the Geschaeftsreglement, the fact that it is then subsequently issued by the Verwaltungsrat is secondary (and goes without saying).

Hmmm ... not really in my opinion. Again, I feel that the essence of the (rather unfortunately constructed) sentence has to do with the formulation of tasks. True, when the tasks have been drafted, the details need to be adjusted (geregelt) and the whole lot has to be published (erlassen / issued). Perhaps the best translation requires a wider context.

I think "to enact" is too strong here.
