All the previous resolutions adopted in the five national moonsighting conferences held by CHC. 

2009 Establishment of the Central Hilal Committee: New York, NY: Ulama Kiram from 13 states across the US convened in New York for the first time to solve these dissentions and organize the moon sighting effort nationally. They all agreed to coordinate monthly moon sighting efforts and maintain a proper shahadah system in accordance to the Quran and Sunnah. To achieve unity across the states, they also agreed to coordinate the moon sighting announcement from this central body instead of announcing separately from their individual organizations.
