Current Records:

Following the adoption of WLA#25 by the Seventh Provisional World Parliament in December 2003, the responsibility for maintaining active and archival records pertaining to the provisional World Government and the World Government was defined, thereby establishing the term "stewarding agency" to refer to the responsible entities. Stewarding agencies may be classified as either public or private entities; however, they are required to comply with the standards delineated within the act.
