jjefferies Posted September 11, 2012 at 01:34 AM Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 at 01:34 AM Hello all,My first post on a minor question of procedure. I searched the archive but possibly didn't phrase my question correctly for the search engine.But should the minutes include the name(s) of those making a motion and those seconding? And should that information be a part of the published, i.e. public record, minutes of the meeting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted September 11, 2012 at 01:49 AM Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 at 01:49 AM The minutes would the include names of the makers of all main motions, but not the seconders. RONR has no requirement that any minutes be published or made a public record. Does some other rule applying to your organization require it?

By "tradition", however, they are posted on the organization's website for the membership (should any be so inclined). Which in itself is interesting as it now appears that the website is forming the institutional memory of the organization. Any number of years of previous minutes on paper have been lost and it often seems that the rationale of certain operations comes down to that is the way we've always done it, i.e. it was voted into being in the misty past.

Suggest a website as one way of recording such and broadcasting to others in your cohort. BTW, do you know there are organizations which keep a record of what's posted?
