Approval of minutes in committee/board


Sean Hunt

Recommended Posts

When an assembly's minutes are referred to a committee or board for approval, how should the committee or board approach this? Should they be dealt with in the same place in the order of business and with the same process as it would if it were the body's own minute, should a motion and vote be taken on the approval during New Business, or is the procedure something else?

If minutes are referred to a committee for approval (as contemplated on pages 474-75), approval of these minutes will be the committee’s only business.

If referred to the executive board for approval, these minutes should not be presented to the board for approval along with the minutes of the board. Instead, the action of the membership in referring this matter to the board, and the secretary’s draft of the minutes, should be reported to the board as a part of the secretary’s report, and the presiding officer (assuming a motion to approve them), should then ask if there are any corrections.
