When the assistant secretary writes the meeting minutes, should she sign them with the title "Assistant Secretary" or "Acting Secretary"?

So far as I am aware, RONR does not directly answer this question. So what follows is largely my personal views, and ultimately it will be up to the assembly to determine the answer to this question. Since the person in question has a regular title in this regard, I am inclined to think that title should be used. So I would have this person sign the minutes as "Assistant Secretary." If neither the Secretary nor the Assistant Secretary take the minutes, the title for a person temporarily serving in the role of Secretary is "Secretary Pro Tempore."
