Richard Brown Posted October 23, 2015 at 06:47 AM Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 at 06:47 AM The minutes should be a record of what was done at a meeting, not what was said. Discussion does not belong in the minutes at all unless your organization has adopted a rule or motion to include discussion. See FAQ # 15: http://www.robertsrules.com/faq.html#15 From page 468 of RONR: "The official record of the proceedings of a deliberative assembly is usually called the minutes, or sometimes—particularly in legislative bodies—the journal. 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. The minutes should never reflect the secretary's opinion, favorable or otherwise, on anything said or done." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
