Guest Tim Harris Posted February 1, 2017 at 09:54 PM Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 at 09:54 PM Hi Folks, I take the Minutes at our food cooperative Monthly General Meeting. An activist at our Monthly General Meeting has claimed several months in a row, that, "...we have asked for a vote (for XYZ agenda item) in May of 2015. It is now January 2017. That is 20 months of institutional avoidance...". Is this a an accusation that should/could be recorded in the Minutes? The only people who could officially make a decision to avoid scheduling a vote are our Agenda Committee (who schedules the votes) and our General Coordinators (who are paid administrators). Thanks!!

Kim Goldsworthy Posted February 1, 2017 at 10:02 PM Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 at 10:02 PM If it isn't a motion, then, chances are, it does not belong in the minutes. Rants and raves are not to appear in the minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The minutes are a record of what was done, not what was said. And the assertion isn't even close to being over the line with respect to decorum in a meeting. Sounds like a tempest in a teapot.
