meeting minutes

[Guest Ginny]

Can you add someone thoughts to the minutes of a past meeting? If the meeting was on the 20, and on the 30 you changed your mind can you have the minutes changed? How long do you have to change your vote after the meeting has adjourned?

If the meeting was on the 20, and on the 30 you changed your mind can you have the minutes changed?

How long do you have to change your vote after the meeting has adjourned?

No.

No votes can be changed after the vote is declared and the meeting moves on to something else (e.g., another item, or adjournment).

If you "change your mind", then:

(a.) move to rescind (or amend) whatever was ADOPTED.

(b.) move again the identical motion which was DEFEATED.

Can you add someone thoughts to the minutes of a past meeting?

No. Someone's thoughts don't belong in the minutes in the first place. The minutes are the official record of what was done at a meeting (e.g. motions made), not a record of what was said (e.g. debate on those motions). And certainly not a record of anyone's thoughts.

Nor are they a record of what should have been done. If mistakes were made, the mistakes are recorded in the minutes.

...How long do you have to change your vote after the meeting has adjourned?

That sounds like a trick question . Votes can only be taken inside a meeting. The window for changing one's vote is very brief (as explained by Mr. Goldsworthy), and is definitely closed 'after the meeting has adjourned.'

I guess the answer is 0.000000000 seconds...
