The minutes of the meeting is basically to discuss what transpired at the last meeting

including all qestions in the meeting & voting on each one with the breakdowns of each
question & voter.

Now if there was anything not discussed fully because of time constraints those questions
would be brought forward first.

Then the voting on each question is recorded into the minutes of this meeting.

Then the minutes taking place now including all questions & voting are received & entered
into the log book that contains the minutes for the next meeting.

And so on from there everything is logged.

hey’re many minutes of your life that you’ll never get back 🤣

Seriously tho, they can be fun sometimes. For my first big assignment as a candidate
attorney, I was to take the minutes of a meeting for a very big client or board of directors.

I was thrilled. I researched all I could about minutes so that my minutes were perfect.
They’re basically a record of the meeting. From reading the minutes, you should know
exactly what happened at the meeting, without even sitting for it. All decisions that were
reached, as well as the quorum and the new issues raised, should be highlighted in your
minutes.

The meeting lasted a full day at a round table, with no resolution being reached. The
directors were stubborn businessmen; the agenda I had prepared was concise but we kept
hitting deadlocks. There were a bunch of underhand motives that slowly became clear.
There was one director in particular, a fat balding man, who refused to agree with any of the
plans, and who held a large amount of shares. The other directors either revered him or
were mad jealous of him, and kept making (really funny) covert sarcastic remarks at his
suggestions. Which I recorded as well 😂 My boss saw my minutes and was pleased with it,
except for the covert sarcastic remarks, which he told me to remove immediately as it could
create a war. Those were the best parts tho

What happened. In the meeting.

Every minute, is recorded. Who said what.

What should they do. By when, after they finish the meeting.

Action items with ETA.

Meetings are mental calisthenics, has to translate into action, cash has to flow in.
