It does relate directly to this group. Here is the full text of resolution 2.9:

The Board acknowledges receipt of the Rec6CWG report. This is a difficult 
issue, and the work of the community in developing these recommendations is 
appreciated. The Board has discussed this important issue for the past three 
years.

The Board agrees that ultimate responsibility for the new gTLD program rests 
with the Board. The Board, however, wishes to rely on the determinations of 
experts regarding these issues.

The Board will accept the Rec6 CWG recommendations that are not inconsistent 
with the existing process, as this can be achieved before the opening of the 
first gTLD application round, and will work to resolve any inconsistencies. 
Staff will consult with the Board for further guidance as required.
