GENERIC MINUTES

Minutes should be short--don't include every detail of your meetings. After all, they're called minutes, not hours.

What should be in minutes? 1) Name of group 2) Date and location of meeting 3) Officer presiding, including the name of the secretary who wrote the minutes 4) Attendance 5) Call to order, chair's remarks 6) Approval of minutes of previous meeting 7) Approval of agenda 8) Technical topics Brief summary of discussion, pros and cons, and conclusions Motions and actions items with name and due date Copies of handouts Do not include names, except for movers and seconders of motions unless a roll-call vote is ordered 9) Subcommittee reports 10) Next meeting--date and location
