Are (or should be) the resolutions of the SDA General Conference public? Currently I'm doing a little bit of research on how different churches are organised.
As far I can understand, the General Conference of the Seventh Day Adventist Church has an important role on discussing different important matters which are voted and eventually shared around the world.

The General Conference is responsible for the spiritual and developmental plans of the church around the world.

If I get it correctly, after each General Conference event, a resolution is made containing the changes in the way how the church works (organizational issues, believes/principles (?) etc).
How are these resolutions shared and to whom? Who has access to them?
Should they be public (to anyone, including people outside of the church) or be available only to the members of the church?
The point which I'm missing is:

if they would be shared only with the pastors/leaders, how would a member know if something is changed?
if they are shared only with the members, how would someone from outside (who eventually wants to be a member) know what they are going to accept without knowing what the General Conference decided before?
are there any points which should not be shared with members? Similarly, are there any parts which are shared with members but not with non-members?
how would somebody from outside of the church request as much information which is supposed to be public?


While this question is about the SDA church, for comparison, I'm interested how other churches/organisations handle this subject (e.g. LDS, JW etc).
The Seventh Day Adventist General Conference session is not secret, nor is it well published.  Formal minutes are only distributed to delegates of the session; this is primarily for practical reasons.

However, there are lots of news sources that cover the proceedings that discuss the high-level decisions that are made.  For instance http://2015.gcsession.org/en/news/index.html

you can also find information on sites like https://spectrummagazine.org/article/2015/05/29/how-delegates-are-selected-general-conference-sessions

Regarding becoming a member, this is articulated through the fundamental beliefs. Usually, the General session deals with the business of the church and the protocols of the different offices of the church.  Not often effecting lay members beliefs.  Recently, however, there has been issues with how women should be accepted into leadership and the ministry credentials they can carry.

There is no secrecy at the session level.  However, a board of directors is appointed that runs the organisation between sessions.  These minutes are confidential, but cannot make significant changes; These are confidential as they can deal with highly sensitive operational issues that can affect employees. (Think restructures, pay cuts or increases, moral failures and apostates)

As a member, I gain all my information from the websites, both the official ones and the reputable Adventist news publishers. In reality, the General conference session has little impact on my day to day faith, or how the local church operates.  There are other downstream organisations that have more influence over these.
