Hi - I'm trying to verify whether "omfatta" used with beslut is "made/taken" or "supported/passed" Here are several examples.
Stiftelsens stadgar kan med nedannämnda undantag ändras genom beslut av Styrelsen om beslutet omfattas av minst fem medlemmar
Do at least 5 member need to participate in the decision or support the decision?
Beslut om ändring av stiftelsens stadgar skall på styrelsemöte omfattas av minst tre fjärdedelar av samtliga ledamöter
Thanks for your help!

This is "omfatta" in the sense of "uppfatta (viss åsikt eller dylikt) som riktig och därför göra den till sin egen" (from Svensk Ordbok, www.svenska.se).

a resolution will be adopted, if passed by....
omfatta: literally to encompass, comprise or cover.
here - if syntactically right - is possibly shorthand for fattas om / passed if ... rather than a decision that is retaken.

Example sentence:
it adopted a resolution - genom att anta en resolution hade antagit en resolution det fattade beslut om adopted a resolution

Thanks och takk, Safetex. I fear tactical voters have swung the answer in a counter-intuitive direction.
