Hi Alan,

The way we currently do it is the minuter writes up the minutes and releases them to the people who were present at the meeting for corrections. The full, revised minutes are then made public, usually several days later. Unfortunately we had a powercut yesterday and Dougal lost all his minutes, since plone doesn't make regular saves :(

I definitely understand where you're coming from. We've talked quite a bit about how the minutes from the Auckland meeting should be done, and we've come to the conclusion that we're a bit limited by technology at the moment, since our plone site doesn't record change logs for documents properly.

Would everyone prefer a more rapid, but subject to change, release of the minutes?

Thanks,
James

Hi,

I was wondering whether the minutes could be announced sooner? I understand
that they need to be approved, but still I would expect them to be announced
within 24 hours. If we look at last week's meeting, I received notice of the
minutes on Monday evening (i.e. Tuesday morning NZ time), i.e. one day
before you guys have your weekly CellML meeting (!!).

Most importantly (maybe) is that, while reading the minutes, I could relate
to issues (reported in the minutes) that had been acted upon since last
week's meeting. This is obviously good, but those issues kind of came out of
the blue at the time. It would have been nice if I didn't have to put 2 and
2 together, try to read people's mind behind their actions, etc.

Also, to know about the outcome of the meeting within 24 hours would
potentially allow people to react more efficiently (i.e. in 'real-time').

Cheers, Alan.

PS: it's not a recent occurrence, since it has been going on for months. In
a couple of cases, it even happened that the minutes were not announced. So,
no, nothing to do with the person who currently produces the minutes... :)
