Meeting minutes are not intended to be a transcript recording every comment and argument in a board meeting.
Meeting minutes are intended to be factual and should include a limited amount of information:
- When and where a meeting was held
- Attendees
- Reports received; not the contents of these reports
- Motions made; no mention of general discussions or conversations
As a general rule, meeting minutes should be no longer than one or two pages in length.
