Guest pgwoman Posted June 10, 2018 at 01:19 AM Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 at 01:19 AM When drafting the minutes, should it be a verbatum transcript of the meeting, or a summary of topics discussed, and the decisions made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Goodwiller, PRP Posted June 10, 2018 at 01:34 AM Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 at 01:34 AM The latter. Minutes, per Robert’s Rules, should be a record of what was done, not what was said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be the decisions made. Discussion doesn't belong there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted June 10, 2018 at 02:35 AM Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 at 02:35 AM (edited) Agreeing with Mr Novosielski, no attempt should be made to summarize the discussion. The minutes should be a record of what was done, not what was said or what was discussed. Also, I believe that when Dr Goodwiller said "the latter", he meant decisions made, not discussion and decisions made.
