Drafting Minutes

What exactly should be included in the minutes when a specific topic is discussed. Do you mainly address or include in the minutes the highlights of the discussion and then the outcome of the discussion? Or do you have to write everything that was discussed in the minutes?.

" In an ordinary society, the minutes should contain mainly a record of what was done at the meeting, not what was said by the members"  RONR (11th ed.), p. 468. 

 

That also includes leaving out a summary of what was said.  Just record the motions that were made and the outcomes of the motions and you're good to go.

 

See p. 468ff in RONR or p. 146ff in Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised In Brief for more details (there are plenty of them)
