Guest dan Posted June 30, 2010 at 05:09 PM Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 at 05:09 PM A member may make such a request, but the secretary is under no obligation to comply with such a request.At the meeting, the secretary does NOT present the actual minutes. A proposed draft is presented. Only when the body approves the minutes do they become the actual minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Goldsworthy Posted June 30, 2010 at 11:27 PM Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 at 11:27 PM Is the Secretary obliged to give out copies prior to the Meeting ...?No.Not even at the meeting is a secretary obliged (!) to hand out anything.The handing-out is a courtesy, like a cherry on top. - The secretary only needs to read aloud the minutes, and need not reveal the typewritten/handwritten document nor a photocopy, at the meeting. That is the minimum. Anything more generous is due the secretary's compassion or efficiency, and NOT due to any rule in Robert's Rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
