Yup, I totally understand. I am working on doing it more quickly. Regarding audio recording: they can be a significant help to me, if I'm not able to keep up, which happens frequently. In particular, if I become involved in a discussion, I am not able to effectively take notes during that time, so the recording is almost a necessity. I did ask at a previous meeting, and not a single person cared about the recording. I have not asked at every meeting, which I perhaps should. The recordings are low quality (built-in laptop microphone, facing me), are deleted when they're not needed anymore, and are not archived.
