DanielEHayes Posted February 20, 2015 at 07:23 PM Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 at 07:23 PM During a recent meeting our Secretary read the minutes and the number of corrections that I would have wished to make to the minutes were extreme. We had a LOT of business to take care of and I suspect that approving these minutes would have taken a hour to go through my corrections. Someone wanted to table approving the minutes, I suggested we Postpone Definitely until our next Quarterly meeting. I intend to do a revision of the minutes and submit those. What would have been the proper parliamentary course of action? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielEHayes Posted February 20, 2015 at 07:43 PM Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 at 07:43 PM Was this a new secretary?No. The Secretary from when she has been appointed has always included lots of commentary and opinion in the minutes some of which is not worth mentioning and some of which is totally inappropriate in my opinion.

George Mervosh Posted February 20, 2015 at 07:50 PM Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 at 07:50 PM No. The Secretary from when she has been appointed has always included lots of commentary and opinion in the minutes some of which is not worth mentioning and some of which is totally inappropriate in my opinion. You could have accomplished your goal in 2 minutes, not an hour, by moving to have a committee appointed to construct a set of minutes sans references to debate, commentary, and opinions, and report back at the next meeting. I don't think I'd trust an instruction to have the Secretary do it by herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielEHayes Posted February 20, 2015 at 08:15 PM Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 at 08:15 PM George, if only it were that simple. That said, we do have an audio recording of the meeting, so it can be properly corrected at a later date for anybody that cares to suffer through it. I am working my courage up to go in. The bad thing is..I probably am not being overly dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielEHayes Posted February 21, 2015 at 02:15 AM Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 at 02:15 AM Mr Mervosh,Thanks for the suggestion of referral to a committee for that.. I had not thought in that direction. Its probably not possible at present, but thats a matter of personality not Parliamentary procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
