Guest Word curmudgeon Posted May 28, 2021 at 02:30 PM Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 at 02:30 PM If the minutes of a meeting include a simple typographical error - incomplete proof-reading - to change the spelling of a word that ultimately has no effect on the overall point - unbrella/umbrella - and the correct word and its meaning is intuitively clear to even the most casual observer, is it necessary to propose a motion that must be seconded and voted on, to correct the work?

When the minutes are up for approval, a correction like this can be pointed out, and probably agreed to by unanimous consent. If the error is not noticed until after the minutes have been approved, then a motion to Amend Something Previously Adopted (§35) is the thing to use.
