Action items in Minutes

[Guest Tom]

My organization has been discussing the topic of listing action items tasked in our minutes.   Is there any rule that would prevent us from entering  them in the minutes (task name, deadline, responsibility)?

How do you decide on these "action items"? It seems to me that the only legitimate way to create any such "action items" is by adoption of a main motion. And since the wording al all main motions are supposed to  be included in the minutes, I would say not only is there no rule preventing you from listing them, they absolutely should be listed.

If you mean something else, please let us know with a specific example.
