Minute Book

A read of one meeting’s minutes against the material that convened it. Every decision located and separated from the narrative around it, then tested as a resolution: whether it names a decider, states what was decided in actionable words, records its conditions, and could be understood by somebody who was not in the room. Quorum as evidenced on the face of the record. Each matter checked against the delegation the body actually holds under its own articles, terms of reference, standing orders or trust deed. Onward delegations checked for a name and a limit. Declared interests matched to the items they relate to. Items decided without appearing on the notice or agenda. Actions without an owner or a date. Returned as findings item by item with what each gap would mean to an outside reader, and what remains available given whether the minutes are draft or approved. Three business days from the brief arriving. Not legal advice, nothing certified as compliant, and no minutes redrafted.
