Should the definition mention organization of nucleosomes? to distinguish from more macro changes to chromatin (cohesion, condensation etc). Does 'chromatin remodelling' really include "global changes necessary for chromosome segregation'? If so we should be specific about which ones?

This will be replaced by functions
We have decided that this term needs to remain.
I changed back to my original title which was about the definition rather than it being an MF, but this will probably come up later.
Current def: "Dynamic structural changes to eukaryotic chromatin occurring throughout the cell division cycle. These changes range from the local changes necessary for transcriptional regulation to global changes necessary for chromosome segregation."
We can discuss this tomorrow.
Proposed change in definition for chromatin remodeling
Dynamic structural changes to ~eukaryotic~ chromatin ~occurring throughout the cell division cycle~. These changes allow DNA metabolic processes such as transcriptional regulation, DNA recombination, DNA repair, DNA replication, as well as global changes necessary for chromosome segregation.
We have not addressed @ValWood 's comment

GO:0006338 chromatin remodeling has a very broad definition:
Dynamic structural changes to eukaryotic chromatin occurring throughout the cell division cycle. These changes range from the local changes necessary for transcriptional regulation to global changes necessary for chromosome segregation.
Is this OK?
