Why suspend the rules?

It seems like the member wanted to abstain.

It is better that the assembly understands what is going on.

Wording for what?

When the board approves its minutes, it doesn't matter who took them.

The assembly decides. Also, the bylaws could be amended to remove any ambiguity.
