correction of minutes

[celia]

We are often not given sufficent time to look over the meeting minutes for the purpose of corrections.I would like to know if errors can be corrected after a meeting or are we just stuck with them as they are? I found several errors after the meeting today. They were important items not just spelling and grammer.

You can amend them, once adopted, by use of the motion "Amend Something Previously adopted (p. 293 ff.).

You are NOT stuck.

You CAN correct errors after minutes are adopted. Even YEARS later. There is no "statute of limitations" when it comes to amending old minutes for corrections.

Beware, you cannot re-write history and alter minutes to include things which never occurred. No "time travel" is allowed, you know.

The assembly should demand sufficient time.

If you want more time, obtain the floor and move to Postpone the question to a later hour. See RONR (10th ed.), §14, pp. 172ff.

...or, if you prefer, demand that the minutes be read.
