Is it overstepping one's boundaries, if serving as Recording Secretary, to remind members of a board to review a document presented by another board member prior to the meeting so that it can be discussed? Would this be considered directing the minutes?

Thank you,

I have no idea what is meant by "directing the minutes", but nothing that I know of suggests to me that there is anything wrong with the Recording Secretary or anyone else reminding board members to review a document prior to a meeting.

No, any member may remind the rest of the Board to review documents prior to a meeting, although that should be common sense.  But there is nothing in RONR to specifically allow a member to do so, or to stop them from doing so.  It is just a 'friendly reminder' as part of a discussion between two or more people outside a meeting.  Nothing wrong with that.

As others have said, I have no idea what "Directing the Minutes" means.  Then again, only decisions made DURING a meeting go into the Minutes, not debate during a meeting, and discussions outside a meeting (either orally, by snail mail, by e-mail, or fax, or any other form of communication) should certainly not be contained in the Minutes.  Could it be that the Recording Secretary is putting too much information into the Minutes?
